Air Arabia Cabin Crew Interview Questions & Process

Aptitude Test · Grooming Check · Final Interview

Updated August 2026

Air Arabia, based in Sharjah, recruits through open days and walk-in events including regular drives across South Asia, and its assessment day runs three key rounds: an aptitude test covering numerical reasoning and English grammar, a grooming check, and a final interview. The aptitude test is the stage candidates least expect, and arriving unaware of it is the commonest avoidable failure. The final interview is short and service-focused: why crew, why Air Arabia, customer scenarios, and readiness to relocate to Sharjah. This page covers all three rounds and the questions candidates report.

The cost of walking in unprepared

Most candidates prepare only for a conversational interview and are caught off guard by a written aptitude test — numerical reasoning and English grammar. Basic arithmetic practice beforehand pays off, since the aptitude and grooming rounds filter before the interview even starts.
