Aegean Airlines cabin crew interview questions
Europe · 4 categories · 16 questions
These are real-style questions in the four categories Aegean Airlines assessments actually use — safety and scenario judgment, motivation and fit, teamwork (CRM), and background. All 16 are below in full, with the guidance a recruiter would give. No account needed to read them.
Safety & scenario judgment
A passenger with reduced mobility needs assistance during an evacuation. How do you plan for that before departure?
They want the pre-flight element: identifying the passenger, briefing them individually, knowing the assistance plan, and not seating them in an exit row. Improvising at the moment of evacuation is the failure this question targets.

The cabin fills with an unusual smell shortly after takeoff. What are your first actions?
They want the flight deck informed immediately, the source located, and no assumption that it is harmless. Waiting to see whether it worsens is the wrong instinct with fume events.

What would you do if a passenger became aggressive over a seat allocation?
They want de-escalation, separation, a concrete remedy, and the senior involved before it grows. Adjudicating in front of an audience is the failure.

How would you handle a passenger who appears to be having a heart attack?
They want immediate escalation, the medical kit and defibrillator, any medical professional on board, and preparation for diversion. Speed matters more than tidiness here.

Motivation & fit
Aegean has built its reputation on service quality at a regional scale. What does that mean to you?
They want understanding that a smaller carrier competes on service rather than network size, and something specific about how that shows up in the cabin. Generic quality talk does not land.

Our summer season is intense and highly seasonal. How would you handle that workload pattern?
A realism screen unique to Mediterranean carriers. They want acknowledgement of the peak-season intensity and a plan for sustaining through it, not surprise at the question.

What do you know about how our seasonal contracts work?
A preparation check specific to this carrier. They want awareness of seasonal hiring and what happens outside peak, not surprise.

What would you do in the quieter winter months?
A practical follow-on. They want a realistic plan rather than an assumption of year-round full-time work.

Teamwork & CRM
Tell me about a time you turned a dissatisfied customer around.
They want the specific recovery action and the passenger's response, not a claim that you are good with people. Apology alone rarely counts as recovery.

You are working with a crew you have never met before on a full flight. How do you establish trust quickly?
Common in a seasonal operation with a large pool. They want concrete openers — a proper introduction, agreeing responsibilities early, checking preferences — rather than natural friendliness.

Tell me about a time you joined an established team.
Seasonal intakes make this routine. They want humility and a concrete approach to fitting in fast.

Describe a time you had to keep going when the team around you was flagging.
Peak-season reality. They want a specific contribution, not a claim of energy.

Background & general
How would you describe Greek hospitality, and how would it show in your work?
They want philoxenia expressed as behaviour — genuine welcome, generosity, treating passengers as guests — with an example. The word alone is not an answer.

A large part of our summer traffic is tourists who do not speak Greek or English well. How do you serve them?
They want practical technique: simplification, demonstration, patience, and using crew or passengers who can interpret. Frustration with the passenger is the wrong signal.

How do you handle passengers who are on holiday and in a celebratory mood?
They want warmth combined with clear limits on alcohol and behaviour, and awareness of when it tips into a safety issue.
Final interviewEditorialReviewed Jul 2026
What do you do to recover between back-to-back duty days?
They want a real routine rather than an assertion of stamina.

How airlines typically hire cabin crew
We don’t have a sourced process for Aegean Airlines specifically, so this is the shape most major carriers follow — typically 4–12 weeks.
- 1Application — CV, photos and short motivation questions through the airline’s careers portal.
- 2Video interview — Recorded answers to set questions, reviewed later. No interviewer present.
- 3Assessment day — Group exercises, an English assessment, and reach or height checks. The largest cut happens here.
- 4Final interview — A competency interview, one-to-one, with follow-up questions on your answers.
- 5Offer — Conditional offer, then medical and document checks.

Reading questions is the easy part. This is the same recruiter that runs the full interview — it asks from the list above, pushes back when an answer is thin, and tells you what an assessor would have flagged. No account, no card.
