Cabin crew requirements for Turkish Airlines, SunExpress and AJet from each airline's official careers pages: age, height, education, languages, swimming and where to apply.
The clearest differences are height and age. SunExpress accepts women from 155 cm and men from 160 cm and limits age to 20–35, while Turkish Airlines asks for 160 cm and 170 cm and sets age per advert. AJet publishes requirements only in live adverts, and none is open as of 6 November 2026.
