Frequently asked questions
Is Iberia hiring cabin crew right now?

How long does the Iberia application process take?
Expect roughly 4-12 weeks from application to a decision, plus training and — for international bases — visa processing before your first flight. Silence beyond about six weeks usually means an unsuccessful file.
