Warning

There are an increasing number of websites which claim to be able to get you a job as Cabin Crew. They usually will ask you to pay a registration or subscription fee. We urge you to fully investigate these companies before you hand over any money. Signs that the company may not be trustworthy include : no landline number, no physical address, and claims that they have relationships with airlines. Ask the "agency" for references of candidates for whom they have found positions. We have had a number of complaints from candidates who have paid over money and have had no feedback. As a general rule, airlines in South Africa never utilise "recruitment agencies" for Cabin Crew.
