Flydubai's first class of cabin crew graduates

The 22 flight attendants from Dubai's first low-cost airline, seven men and 15 women, are pictured here following their recent graduation from an intensive training program that tested their skills in first-aid, security, safety and service.

The newly qualified personnel will shortly be taking to the skies, having been invited onto the course after a careful selection process designed to identify those able to provide only the highest levels of service.

Among the first set of graduates are a medical professional, a number with previous top-level flight attendant experience and several who come from a five-star hotel background.

The group can be seen to be truly representative of flydubai's home city, with 20 nationalities found within it. Communication has to be a strong point for the attendants who will soon be serving the airline's multi-national customer community and languages spoken by the crew include Arabic, English, Swahili, Russian, Hindi and Tamil.

"flydubai would like to congratulate the company's first set of graduating cabin crew personnel, who have proved throughout their training program their commitment to providing the highest standards of customer care,"

said Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai.

"We are very proud of our first cabin crew and are confident they will ensure our passengers enjoy the highest levels of service and comfort possible on board flydubai."
