Wizz Air Opens Selection Process for Flight Attendant Recruitment in Brazil; Check Details

Last Week, the European Airline Wizz Air Announced That It Will Recruit Flight Attendants in Brazil. Being a Low-Cost Carrier, It Will Have a Robust Selection Process to Hire New Employees for Its Staff.

Founded in Hungary, Wizz Air has expanded its international presence, having subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, the company belongs to the Indigo Partners group, which also controls the American Frontier Airlines and the Chinese JetSmart.

In practice, all these companies stand out for their low-cost model, as the Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft have the maximum number of seats possible, reducing travel costs and allowing for lower fares for the population. Thus, it is necessary to increase the number of flight attendants to support the staffing of these companies.

On its LinkedIn profile, Wizz Air announced its search for recruitment in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina. The initiative aims to recruit flight attendants to work in Bulgaria, Poland, and Cyprus.

Moreover, the company was clear in stating that it desires South American candidates who hold European citizenship.

Wizz Air’s Criteria for Selecting Flight Attendants

According to Wizz Air, after the initial application for the positions, the selected candidate will undergo an online interview before an in-person meeting. Additionally, it also outlined some requirements for flight attendant positions, which are:

• Be at least 18 years old;
• Have a height of 2.10 m with arms extended;
• Hold a high school diploma;
• Possess a valid passport;
• Demonstrate fluency in English;
• Proficiency in another European language (such as German, for example) is an advantage;
• High school diploma;
• Be able to swim;
• Not have tattoos in visible parts of the body;
• Hold citizenship in a European country.

On the other hand, it is necessary to point out that, as Wizz Air operates in Europe, holding a flight attendant course by ANAC is not required, although it is a plus.

What Does a Flight Attendant Do?

Also known as cabin crew, a flight attendant is the professional responsible for safety and organization on an air trip. In practice, they must direct how the flight is conducted internally, to ensure safety and comfort for passengers.

To do this, they must welcome passengers, guide them to their seats, and assist in stowing carry-on luggage inside the aircraft. Moreover, other responsibilities of the flight attendant include transmitting information, checking safety conditions at the seats, and also serving food and beverages to the passengers. 

However, as various situations may arise during a flight, it is recommended that those interested in becoming flight attendants have self-control and good communication skills. This is because it is necessary to know how to deal with unexpected and tense situations on some flights.
