Position Overview
We are seeking a highly discreet, professional, and experienced Private Flight Attendant to provide exceptional, bespoke service to a prominent UHNW family and their guests on their private aircraft. This role transcends standard cabin service; it is centered on anticipating needs, ensuring absolute comfort, and maintaining the highest levels of privacy and security at all times. The ideal candidate will be culturally astute, with impeccable manners and a deep understanding of the protocols associated with serving a discerning Middle Eastern clientele.
Key Responsibilities
1. In-Flight Service & Culinary Excellence:

  • Provide seamless, white-glove service, including silver service, tray service, and mixology.
  • Plan, source, and prepare bespoke menus in accordance with the family's preferences and dietary requirements (e.g., Halal).
  • Expertly manage the aircraft's galley, ensuring all provisions are of the highest quality and fully stocked for each itinerary.
  • Serve traditional Arabic coffee (Gahwa), tea, and other cultural beverages with the utmost etiquette.
2. Safety & Security:
  • Hold and maintain a current and internationally recognized Flight Attendant safety certificate (e.g., SEP, MCC, or equivalent).
  • Execute all safety and emergency procedures with precision and calm.
  • Conduct thorough pre-flight safety checks of the cabin, galley, and emergency equipment.
  • Ensure the absolute privacy and discretion of the principals and all guests; sign and adhere to a strict confidentiality agreement (NDA).
3. Cabin Management & Presentation:
  • Maintain an immaculate cabin environment before, during, and after each flight.
  • Manage wardrobe, including packing, unpacking, and garment care (steaming/pressing).
  • Source and arrange fresh flowers, newspapers, and magazines as per the principals' preferences.
  • Oversee the inventory and care of all cabin amenities, linens, chinaware, and crystal.
4. Anticipation & Personal Assistance:
  • Possess a keen ability to anticipate needs and preferences without being intrusive.
  • Assist principals and guests with personal items and comfort throughout the journey.
  • Coordinate seamlessly with ground staff, pilots, and the principal's broader household team.
Candidate Profile: Essential Qualifications & Attributes
  • Language: Native or Fluent Arabic (non-negotiable) and Fluent English. Additional languages are a plus.
  • Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Flight Attendant, with significant experience in VIP/Corporate Aviation or with UHNW families. Commercial airline experience alone is not sufficient.

  • Discretion & Trustworthiness: Impeccable character with a proven ability to handle confidential matters. A rigorous background check will be conducted.
  • Appearance & Demeanor: Impeccable personal presentation, professional, polished, and calm under pressure.
  • Flexibility: Willingness to be on call and travel extensively on a flexible schedule, often with short notice. The role requires long periods away from base.
  • Certification: Valid Flight Attendant safety certification (SEP/MCC) is mandatory.
Highly Desirable Skills

  • Knowledge of food safety and hygiene (HACCP).
  • Experience with in-flight food preparation and presentation.
