As the aviation industry takes a rebound in the Philippines, more airlines have opened their doors for all who want to be their flight attendants. Airlines in the Philippines are already hiring new cabin crew. This is on top of the rehiring of those who were retrenched.
Local airlines continue to increase capacity and add flights, hence, the need for more flight attendants. Also, they are anticipating that quite a number of their flight attendants will be moving to foreign airlines within the next few months. Hence, the need to hire more cabin crew early to prevent any disruption in operations due to lack of manpower.
So to sum things up, here are the airlines that are currently hiring flight attendants in the Philippines.
Cebu Pacific
Cebu Pacific announced last week that they are hiring more flight attendants. While they did say on their official website that they prefer those with flying experience, ‘new blood’ or those with no flying experience are welcome to apply! The application process is now online. No word yet about any open day or walk-in interviews.
Here are the requirements to be a Cebu Pacific flight attendant:

They just have to bring all requirements and they have to be in corporate attire or the required get-up.

Other airlines that may hire anytime soon
I will not provide any specific details yet as we still have to wait for an official announcement from these airlines. However, these are all I can share so that you can all prepare yourselves.
- An airline may start recruiting more flight attendants again and we just have to wait for an announcement first from them.
- A few foreign airlines may be staging more hiring events not only for cabin crew positions but for others as well here in the Philippines.
What are these? I’ll keep my mouth shut first.
Beware of fake and hearsay news
Sadly, some cabin crew aspirants still fall for fake and hearsay news which causes them more trouble. These usually come from other social media content creators who have no direct ties and official working relations with airlines, recruitment agencies, and other stakeholders.
So please, before you take any action, verify the news or post directly with the airline and the proper authorities, especially if money is involved such as airfare.
Good luck to all applying! I hope to see you in the sky one day with your wings and uniform!
First love never dies. I fell in love with airplanes and aviation when I was a kid. My dream was to become a pilot, but destiny led me to another path: to be an aviation digital media content creator and a small business owner. My passion for aviation inspires me to bring you quality content through my website and social accounts. Aviation is indeed in my blood and blog!
I’m interested to apply as a cabin crew 🙂 i don’t have experience yet fresh graduate.
Since grade 6 I am wondering to be a Flight attendant until now that I am now graduating in senior high school.
To aim my wish I will do it what flight attendant serve as and do what the rule of cabin crew is.
Cabin Crew role has always been my dream job. I’ll never lose focus on improving myself so I can provide quality in-flight customer service to the passengers, and always apply the 5Ms. #PAL #dreamairline #neverstopdreaming #CabinCrewAspirant #BPA
