International Cabin Crew Training Industry:

Aviation worldwide is a recurring market and the industry is affected predominantly by economics, politics and some part of the globe with acute terrorism etc. 9/11 had a negative impact on the entire Airline Industry across the globe while in other regions tourism sustained.

Not all Cabin Crews choose an Airline career. There are many others as equally rewarding. Other areas available are Charter Flying. Although we don't recommend it if you intend going the Airline route.

Remuneration is one difficult subject to generalize on as salaries vary extensively around the world. Internationally, Salary of a crew may wary somewhere between 30,000  to 1,00,000 Rupees or even more.The salary depends on the Airline you fly and the years of service.

Cabin Crew salaries have drastically fallen down due to slowdown of economy and industry thriving in various parts of the world however it is still rewarding for the deserving.

Due to Global Aviation Recession, Aviation Industry is going through a rough phase. But, with the economy growing consistently and increasing purchasing power of people across the Globe the International Aviation Industry is bound to grow. The importance of time over money is a key to making a transition from the railways to Airlines as a primary mode of transport.

Flying however is a universal skill and once you have a few thousand hours under the belt, the world is open with opportunities.

Take off is optional but landing is compulsory.

Happy Flying
