Cabin crew work hard to prevent their respective carrier’s image and have been duly rewarded in the latest Skytrax rankings for the world’s 10 best airline cabin crews in the world.

The list, dominated entirely by Asian carriers, has been crafted with importance to the hard and soft aspects. The former category includes techniques, efficiency, and attention provided by each cabin crew, whereas the latter focuses on their body language and characteristics like staff enthusiasm, attitude, friendliness, and hospitality 35,000 feet above the ground.

Top 10 Best Airline Cabin Crew in the World

Singapore Airlines has bagged the number one spot in the rankings. The carrier, as well as its hub, Changi Airport, are sweeping up high rankings in Skytrax’s lists this year, and in this particular category, that is no different.

Malaysia Airlines is a surprise pick to make the top 10, with no Middle Eastern airlines like Emirates or Qatar Airways managing to find a spot.

Here is a look at the best 10 rankings and what they do to give passengers the best possible experience.

1. Singapore Airlines (SIA/SQ)

Singapore Airlines is widely regarded as the world’s best airline. They are known for their consistent service, personalised touch to passengers as well as the ability to make customers from diverse backgrounds feel at home regardless of their class of travel aboard an SQ plane.

What makes Singapore Airlines special is its effort towards training cabin crew to streamline the passenger experience.

Regardless of experience, individuals who are hired by the airline must undergo a 15-week training program. They are particularly trained for attention to personalisation, professional demeanour, and proactive service.

SQ’s cabin crew are also from different parts of the world themselves, thus being proficient in several other languages besides English and being able to provide passengers with a solid experience.

ANA trains crew to maintain a professional and calm body language throughout the flight, regardless of situations.

They also make a rigorous effort to ensure that cabin crew in premium classes are providing an exceptional experience by referring to passengers by their first names or last names, and through gestures like hand-written thank you notes at the end of flights.
