It is International Flight Attendant Day today and an
opportune time to celebrate the cabin crew of Emirates Airline and all other
cabin crew of the world's airlines who ensure comfort for all passengers to
their destinations.
Each year more and more airlines and trade unions
dedicate the last day of spring (May 31) to the hard-working cabin crew staff.
The celebration is meant to raise awareness about the importance of this
often-overlooked profession.
Much as most flights have been grounded due to the COVID-19
pandemic, it is still a good opportunity to salute the hardworking flight
attendants who put on broad smiles even in the face of turbulent weather and
sometimes provocation from unruly passengers.
Many admire the cabin crew as they strut the airports
smartly dressed in their beautifully designed attire, either on their way to
board their aircraft or to their hotel after they have landed.
However, what most passengers are oblivious of, is the
fact that flight attendants go through very rigorous training just to enable
them handle all sorts of situations once they are airborne - no wonder they
seem calm even during sticky situations above the clouds.
A group of Ghanaian journalists had the chance to
visit the flight training school of Emirates Airline in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates in February 2020 and were amazed at what they learnt.
Below are some clicks of the amazing trainers and
facilities for training captured by #Edmages from the tour.
