AirAsia Philippines Pioneers Inclusive Cabin Crew Recruitment

AirAsia Philippines is pioneering a game-changing approach by challenging stereotypes and promoting inclusive cabin crew recruiting. 

Beginning August 20 to August 29, 2025, every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the World's Best Low Cost airline will welcome cabin crew applicants who are no longer required to wear formal clothes and complete make-up.  Instead, they can dress more affordably, with male applicants wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, and casual rubber shoes and female candidates wearing a white shirt, denim skirt, and heels.

Cabin crew candidates will be immersed in a more realistic work environment during the selection process, with a focus on service and guest satisfaction rather than the traditional runway screening.  They will also now receive a taste of the Allstar culture, allowing each prospect to experience a day in the skies before being employed.

“We are reimagining the way we do our recruitment process to focus more on the essentials---talent, attitude and skills needed to become a successful cabin crew. Awarded for the 8th consecutive time as World’s Best Low-Cost Cabin Crew by Skytrax, not only do we live and breathe the standards of safety, we make sure that the work environment is fun and inclusive. By changing the game, we also wish to take part in the purposeful journeys of cabin crew aspirants who are deserving to live the sky high dream.” ~Suresh Bangah, AirAsia Philippines Chief Executive Officer

Future Allstars must provide an updated CV or résumé, as well as a recent, non-AI-generated photo.  They must be prepared to display their nicest grins and meet the minimal height requirement based on their Body Mass Index (BMI).

While AirAsia encourages college graduates to apply, senior high school grads are also invited to participate.  Fluency in written and spoken English, Filipino, or multilingualism is regarded advantageous.
