Why Foreign Language Skills are Important for Cabin Crews

All communication onboard an international aircraft must be in English because it is the language of aviation and potentially eliminates any communication challenges given the fact that not all crews have the same nationality.

Whenever in the event of an emergency, it is also needed for the cabin crew to communicate properly both within the team and with the passengers. All instructions must be accurate, clear, and understandable.

Other languages are advantageous to cabin staff, particularly when flying to international destinations. Cabin crew members who are native or fluent language speakers will read passenger announcements. These are normally conducted in two languages, the language of departure and the language of destination.

Cabin crews will also help passengers who speak that language, as well as deal with any specific assistance or difficulties onboard. In the airline industry, this is referred to as ‘languages of destination,’ or LOD.
