Major airlines are required by law to provide flight attendants for the safety of the traveling public. Their primary job is to ensure that safety regulations are followed and that the proper reports are filled. They also interface with the passengers during the flight and try to make them more comfortable. In the event of an emergency, it is the flight attendant's job to help the passengers. They calm the passengers when there is strong turbulence, or direct passengers to evacuate during emergency landings. They make sure the passengers are instructed in the use of the safety equipment onboard the air-craft, as well as inform them of what to do in-case of emergencies.

Our faculty in the Airline Travel Careers department have been, or are currently employed in the airline travel industry/aviation careers and have a wide variety of travel/aviation and business experience to share with the students. A college advisory board consisting of travel and airline professionals meets regularly to assure that the program is current with industry standards.

Our Airline Travel Careers program prepares students for a career as a Flight Attendant as well as other careers in the airline and travel industry. There are three Airline Travel Careers certificates: Flight, Travel, and Ground. See our program's page for details.
