2026-01-21 14:16

Youโ€™ve confirmed your attendance and started getting your documents ready โ€” now itโ€™s time to handle the details that can make or break your application.
Here are the next essential questions aspiring cabin crew ask ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’ฌ Q6: In the survey link Etihad send via email, thereโ€™s a question about languages. Should I mention all the languages I know?
โœ… A: Not quite!
โœˆ๏ธ English is mandatory โ€” make sure you include it.
Also list your native language or dialect, plus only those you are fully fluent in โ€” meaning you can read, write, and speak them confidently.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Skip any languages you can only speak but not read or write.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Q7: I declared the wrong height by mistake (for example, 160 cm instead of 159 cm). What should I do?
โœ… A: No worries โ€” your height will be measured again in person for accuracy.
But keep in mind: if you fall below the minimum requirement, you unfortunately wonโ€™t be eligible for the Cabin Crew role at Etihad.
โœจ Honesty from the start is key โ€” theyโ€™ll always double-check.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Q8: Iโ€™m not sure if my tattoos fall within the allowed areas. What should I do?
โœ… A: If youโ€™re unsure, take a clear photo and send it to ccrecruitment@etihad.ae
before the event.
The recruitment team will review it and advise you on next steps.

๐Ÿฉต During the assessment, Etihad may perform a standard tattoo check (which can include using a makeup remover wipe) to confirm everything aligns with their grooming standards.
This is all about transparency and professional appearance โ€” core parts of the Etihad image.

โš ๏ธ Important: Giving false or incomplete information (in your application or during the assessment) will lead to immediate disqualification or even termination after hiring.
Be open and truthful โ€” itโ€™s the only way forward.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Q9: What are the guidelines for submitting my photographs? Can I take them at home?
โœ… A: Absolutely โ€” just make sure your photos are professional-quality and follow Etihadโ€™s requirements ๐Ÿ‘‡
