The working hours of an air hostess in India are not fixed like a regular office job. They usually depend on flight schedules, which can include early mornings, late nights, weekends, and even holidays.
On average, an air hostess may work about 8 to 12 hours a day, including flight time and ground duties. International flights may require longer hours, but they are followed by mandatory rest periods as per aviation rules.
