Hi Payal,

Air Hostess, Flight Attendant, Cabin Crew, Flight Steward and Flight Stewardess are all synonyms of one another.

There is only a very secondary difference i.e.:

  • Cabin crew/Flight Attendant - The total no. of airline serving on board,responsible for the customer service, safety procedures, embarkation, disembarkation etc 
  • Air hostess/Flight stewardess - The female cabin crew on board. 
  • Air steward - The male cabin crew on board.

Hi payal
The cabin crew has one of the most promising careers in the aviation sector. The cabin crew are a combination of air hostess(Fem,ales) and air stewards(males). The ratio of selection of stewards against that of air hostess is generally 3:7. So in a crew of 10 you would expect 3 stewards and 7 air hostess.
India currently has 5,100 pilots, of which 600, or 11.7 per cent, are women, according to ministry of civil aviation data. There are a total 130,000 pilots in the world, of which 4,000, or about 3 per cent , are women, according to the International Society of Women Airline Pilots.

Hi Payal,
The requirement of certificates/degree or qualification of any sort entirely depends on the Profile and Industry that you wish to pursue.
The basic eligibility for aviation industry at large is at least a graduation in any field. In some cases one needs to have some qualification to be able to fulfill the job responsibilities and Increase chances of selection. However, in majority of the Airlines it is good enough to have a basic Graduation and basic requirement of Height, Weight etc. You can directly go for an Interview.

Hi Payal,
Although, the salary packages may vary depending on the organization &job profile but be assured that the aviation & tourism industry is one of the highest paying industries globally.
Definitely due to the extra flying hault, longer transits the international crew are paid more,start off with, the salary of an air cabin crew member is anything between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 25,000 per month in domestic sector airlines.In international airlines one can easily earn Rs. 50,000 - 80,000 per month, with senior personnel drawing up to Rs. 75,000 per month.
Hope this helps, All the best
