China Southern Airlines' First Group of Dutch Flight Attendants Sails through their Training Evaluations Serving Flights from Guangzhou to Amsterdam in June
On May 10th, China Southern Airlines’ first group of Dutch flight attendants completed their training evaluations in Guangzhou, and they are about to return home. These 21 Dutch flight attendants are slated to serve the round-trip flights linking Guangzhou and Amsterdam, focusing on the first class and business class passengers.
The first batch of Dutch flight attendants, 21 members in total, joined China Southern Airlines on March 26th this year, and of these 21 members, there are 18 air hostesses and three male flight attendants. They have prior experience working for airlines, and 60% of them have previously undergone formal flight attendant training; what’s more, as a group they have a command of multiple languages, such as Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish. During the 46-day training in Guangzhou, they have studied 19 courses totaling 227 class hours, covering a variety of subjects including service for the first class and business class, Chinese conversation, Sky Tea House, Sky Cellar, F&B knowledge, sales of Duty Free goods, flight medical rescue, flight emergency response treatment and the training course covering operations of the Airbus A330 and A380.
During their training, these Dutch flight attendants attended Hunting courses (to learn about Guangzhou, to sample the lifestyle of those in South China, to visit the SOC, the Crew Collaboration Room, and the Waiting Hall of the new airport and to experience the culinary culture of the Nanlian Food Company), the tea culture and some specialized training sessions including learning about the difference between Western and Chinese cultures and studying Chinese so that they can learn more about China Southern Airlines and Chinese culture. Through systematic, professional training, the first group of Dutch flight attendants has mastered the basic knowledge and operations related to their roles as flight attendants and all of them have sailed through the evaluation.
In addition to providing cabin service, they will act as “Cultural Ambassadors” to spread Chinese culture and introduce the exclusive services offered by China Southern Airlines to foreign passengers to promote understanding of both China and China Southern Airlines.
