Cabin Crew Aviation FAQ

Medical conditions that can directly disqualify someone from being a cabin crew member include those that present a high risk of sudden incapacitation or limit the ability to perform essential safety duties. These include:

1. Uncontrolled epilepsy
2. Severe cardiovascular diseases, such as recent heart attacks
3. Untreated or unstable mental health conditions that affect judgment or behaviour
4. Significant hearing loss not correctable to required levels
5. Vision problems that cannot be corrected to meet minimum standards

Each case is assessed individually during the mandatory medical examination. Even if a condition is diagnosed, it may still be acceptable if stable, well-managed, and within functional limits set by aviation medical authorities.
