Japanese Speaking Cabin Crew

こんにちは！We’re Virgin Australia. We’re back (in a big way) and we’re looking for Cabin Crew with Japanese language skills to join our team. As well as flying on our domestic network throughout Australia, you’ll be a Japanese speaking “go-to” on our new Cairns to Tokyo (Haneda) route, using your Japanese skills with our guests and in our announcements for those travelling who have this this language requirement.

For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.
