New Zealand Based Flight Attendants
Short Haul (AKL, WLG, CHC Base)
Long Haul (AKL Base)
Maybe you’ve always dreamt of being a Flight Attendant, or perhaps you’re just curious to see if this is a career that could work for you. Either way, now is the perfect time to picture life as a Jetconnect Flight Attendant, and then make it happen by training to become one of our Cabin Crew.
Chances are you haven’t heard the name Jetconnect before. We’re the team behind the Qantas Group Cabin Crew and Pilots who are based here in New Zealand. So you’ll be employed by Jetconnect (which is 100% owned by Qantas), but you’ll be flying as one of the world-famous Qantas crew.
Our question to you is: Can you picture life as one of our New Zealand-based Flight Attendants? The people you’ll meet, the places you’ll go, the pride you’ll experience by helping to keep people safe and happy in the skies… this is the stuff that both memories and an amazing career are made of.
Right now, we’re taking expressions of interest for Short Haul Flight Attendants who are the safety-focused smiling faces on our Trans-Tasman routes.
Customer service, safety and passenger wellbeing are at the very heart of the Flight Attendant role, regardless of whether it’s a short trip across the Tasman or to destinations on much more distant shores.
No previous airline/cabin crew experience is necessary, although there are a few things that are essential in order to operate within the unique aircraft environment:
- Minimum 18 years of age
- Height between 163 - 183cm
- New Zealand or Australian permanent residency and a passport ensuring unrestricted access to all Qantas ports of call with at least 12 months validity
- Current Senior First Aid Certificate with a validity of 12 months at time of application
- Responsible Service of Alcohol ' Statement of Attainment', which you would need to have by the end of the recruitment process
- Strong Commitment to customer service and recent experience in a face-to-face role
- Demonstrated empathy in service with people from a variety of cultures and countries
- An excellent level of health and fitness, for example being able to swim 50m fully clothed
- An understanding that our crew bases are located in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.
- Experience in food and beverage service is an advantage, as is the ability to speak additional languages
Full training will be provided, so if you’re excited and ready to embark on a truly life-changing journey, submit your expression of interest now for Short Haul Flight Attendant positions.
