Travel students take tips from top airline
Mon, 27 March 2017
Cabin crew and travel students travelled to Dublin to see first-hand the careful procedures that Ryanair cabin crew follow during a short-haul flight.
Ruth David, travel and tourism teacher at Tameside College, said: “The primary purpose of the cabin crew on all airlines is the safety of the passengers, crew and aircraft and it’s important for our students to understand the level of responsibility involved with this role. Although part of the job is to ensure the comfort and welfare of the passengers, including serving drinks and meals, a big part of the job are tasks, that as a passenger you won’t be looking out for, such as ensuring galleys are secure before take-off.”
Students watched carefully as Ryanair cabin crew went through their safety demonstration showing passengers where emergency exits were and how to use oxygen masks and lifejackets in case of an emergency. They were also made aware of the consistent high standard of excellent customer service that is required throughout a flight.
As an added treat, students experienced some Irish culture by spending the day in Dublin walking along the River Liffey and observing the incredible medieval buildings including 13th-century Dublin Castle.
