Cabin crew working hours are strictly limited by aviation regulations to ensure safety and prevent fatigue.

Answer

Cabin crew working hours are strictly limited by aviation regulations to ensure safety and prevent fatigue. These limits cover both flight time (when the aircraft is moving under its own power) and duty time (from reporting until release after the last flight of the day).

Typical rules include:

  1. A maximum number of flight hours per month and year
  2. Limits on consecutive duty days
  3. Minimum rest periods between duties

The exact limits vary slightly by region and are defined by national aviation authorities or airline agreements. Airlines must track and schedule crews in compliance with these limits.
