Requirements

- Age: at least 21 years old
- Education: high school certificate or higher
- Experience: at least one year in hospitality or a customer-facing role
- Height and reach: at least 160 cm tall with an arm reach of 212 cm

About the Role
Cabin crew look after guests' safety and comfort from take-off to landing. Riyadh Air describes the role around "Hafawa", a Saudi idea of warm, generous hospitality. The airline wants natural communicators and team players who enjoy travel, can stay calm and keep passengers safe.
Visa Information
The posting asks candidates to meet Saudi employment visa requirements and relocate to Riyadh. It does not list who pays visa costs, housing or other allowances. Major Gulf airlines usually arrange the work visa for crew they hire, but ask Riyadh Air to confirm the full package in writing before you accept. We call this an employment visa opportunity, not free visa sponsorship, because the posting does not state the fees.
How to Apply
- Step 1: Open the official posting on Riyadh Air's careers portal: https://cabincrew-riyadhair.icims.com/jobs/2485/cabin-crew---recruitment-event-|-riyadh,-saudi-arabia/job
- Step 2: Click "Apply" and create a profile.
- Step 3: Upload a clear, professional CV showing your customer service experience, plus a recent photo if requested.
- Step 4: If shortlisted, you will be invited to an assessment or recruitment event. The careers portal also lists recruitment events in other cities, so check for one closer to you.
Tips to Stand Out
- Highlight service jobs. Hotels, restaurants, retail, banking or call centres all count as customer-facing work.
- Prepare for the reach test. Practise standing on tiptoe and reaching up to 212 cm.
- Brush up your English. Interviews and group tasks are in English.
- Learn about the airline. Read about Riyadh Air's vision and Saudi hospitality before your interview.
- Look professional. Grooming and presentation matter in cabin crew assessments.
Scam Warning
Riyadh Air recruits through its official careers portal. Never pay an agent for an "interview slot", "training fee" or "visa processing" for airline jobs. Fake cabin crew offers on WhatsApp and Facebook are common. If someone asks for money, it is a scam.
