We are now looking for a polished, experienced, and highly organized professional to join our team as Assistant Head of Cabin for our prestigious VVIP fleet, operating Challenger 604 and Global Express aircraft.
This is a unique hybrid role that blends leadership, administration, and hands-on flying.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Supporting the Head of Cabin in leading and developing our cabin crew team, including more than 15 flight attendants and ground personnel such as catering and warehouse staff.
- Overseeing the administrative heartbeat of the department—managing crew rostering, tracking and coordinating mandatory training, and maintaining accurate records within our flight operations system.
- Welcoming and integrating new cabin crew members, conducting work safety briefings, and ensuring they are fully prepared to uphold FAI's VVIP standards.
- Serving as a VIP Service Crew Member on board, bringing your expertise directly to our clients during flexible flight assignments.
Who We're Looking For?
We value professionalism, initiative, and a genuine passion for excellence. To succeed in this role, you'll need a combination of hands-on experience, administrative skill, and the personal presence to represent FAI at the highest level.
Essential Requirements:
- Fluency in both German and English, with additional languages considered a strong advantage.
- At least three years of experience as a VIP Flight Attendant in business or general aviation, ideally with purser-level responsibilities.
- Alternatively, several years of relevant experience in the upscale hotel industry, including direct VIP guest care and personnel management.
- Proven experience with administrative tasks—you're organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing systems and schedules.
- A friendly, confident demeanor and a polished, professional appearance.
- Strong sense of responsibility and a high degree of initiative—you don't wait to be told what needs doing.
- A forward-thinking, organized approach to your work.
- Natural hospitality instincts and diplomatic finesse when interacting with guests and colleagues.
- An unrestricted passport.
- Willingness to relocate to or already reside within a 50 km radius of Nuremberg.
What Awaits You at FAI?
We believe in rewarding dedication and investing in our people. When you join our team, you can expect:
- A two-year fixed-term contract with a clear path to a permanent role and the potential for promotion to Deputy Head of Cabin.
- Six weeks of annual leave to recharge and explore.
