Jet2.com cabin crew requirements
The hard filters Jet2.com applies before a recruiter reads your CV — age, reach, tattoos, languages and documents, with how strict each one is compared to the rest of the industry.
Minimum age
18 years
Most carriers set 18; Gulf and US majors usually 21.
Height & reach
157 cm min
Reach matters more than height: you must access the emergency equipment overhead.
Tattoos
Nothing visible in uniform
No tattoos visible in uniform; tattoos coverable by the uniform are accepted, visible hand, neck or face tattoos are not. Like most of the 59 airlines we index, nothing may show while you are in uniform.
Languages
Fluent English
Fluent English; other languages not required for the UK leisure network.
Education
No formal education requirement; customer service or sales experience valued.
Also required
Medical, swimming & documents
Right to work in the UK, passport with unrestricted EU travel, ability to swim, 5-year checkable history for airside clearance, and full flexibility for earlies, lates and summer night flights.
Work rights matter here
Jet2.com expects the right to work in UK. Without it, applications are usually filtered out before assessment regardless of how strong the rest of your profile is.
