I can confirm you that the age limit for cabin crew varies by airline and country. Most of the airlines require candidates to be at least 18 to 21 years old. While there is often no strict upper age limit, many airlines prefer candidates under 30 to35 for entry-level roles. However, maturity, customer service experience, and fitness standards are valued even more. so, If you are passionate meet the health and grooming criteria and can handle the physical demands then age cannot stop you.

Hi,
I often get asked, “What's the age limit to become an air hostess?” The truth is, there is no fixed upper age limit it all depends on the airline. Most of them require you to be at least 18 to 21 years old to apply. While many other airlines prefer younger candidates for entry-level roles what truly matters is your confidence, grooming, communication skills and fitness. If you meet the requirements and have the passion then age is just a number.
