Corporate Flight Attendants are required to provide services on noncommercial aircraft such as charter planes and corporate jets. Their duties are related to the comfort and safety of their passengers, including specialty services for private aviation.

Education
A minimum requirement to be a Corporate Flight Attendant is having a High School Diploma or equivalent qualification. Some companies also demand applicants having a College Degree in the aviation area or related to this field. There are several useful training programs for this area including in-flight cabin service, FACTS training, first aid and AED, food catering, and CPR. Agencies hiring professionals for this field require candidates having a Federal Aviation Administration certification. This qualification ensures that the applicant has specific knowledge about medical emergencies, in-flight safety, and evacuation procedures.
