JAL begins hiring flight attendants in the Philippines

Japan Airlines has begun recruiting dozens of flight attendants in the Philippines with the help of a local staffing agency, rebooting a program that was postponed during the coronavirus pandemic as it responds to growing demand for travel to Japan. Through JAL's partnership with TDG Human Resource Management, a group of new flight attendants hired in the country is scheduled to join the company in January 2025. It will continue to recruit in the Philippines, where English is widely spoken, every year. TDG will cooperate in the selection process and provide Japanese language education and customer service training. After receiving final training in Japan, the flight attendants will work on JAL's routes between Manila and Tokyo, as well as on other international routes. JAL partnered with TDG in 2019 to recruit 40 flight attendants, who were scheduled to begin their final training in Japan in 2020, but plans were postponed due to the pandemic. JAL has previously recruited flight attendants in Bangkok, Singapore and Taipei.<br/>
