Delta Air Lines Seeks to Hire Flight Attendants for Centennial Year
As Delta Air Lines enters its 100th year of operations in 2025, the company is preparing for its most ambitious travel schedule in history by opening applications for flight attendants. Both English-speaking and bilingual candidates are being recruited to join the team that supports Delta’s extensive global operations spanning 290 destinations worldwide.
Rachel McCarthy, Delta’s Vice President of In-Flight Service Operations and Customer Experience, highlighted the significance of 2025 for the airline: “Not only will Delta celebrate 100 years as a brand, but we will also fly our most robust travel schedule ever. We’re excited to hire even more flight attendants to meet this demand and bring our premium experience to life for every customer.”
Bilingual Applicants Sought for Global Operations
To meet the needs of its international network, Delta is actively seeking language of destination (LOD) candidates fluent in English and one of the following languages: Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, Greek, German, Italian, Korean, or Swedish.
Applicants fluent in these languages can indicate their interest in an LOD position during the application process. This role plays a critical part in serving Delta’s diverse passenger base by ensuring clear communication and cultural sensitivity on international flights.

- Be at least 21 years old at the time of application.
- Hold a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent.
- Speak, read, and write fluent English.

A Commitment to Safety, Service, and Inclusion
Delta flight attendants are responsible for ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers on the airline’s approximately 5,000 daily flights. Beyond safety, Delta emphasizes delivering a premium customer experience, a hallmark of the airline’s service philosophy.

Accommodations related to medical or religious needs are available, provided documentation is submitted as required.
Celebrating 100 Years of Excellence
