A Flydubai cabin crew salary breakdown shared on social media has caught attention online, offering a closer look at how monthly earnings are structured. The post details base pay, flying hours and allowances, which has sparked curiosity among users.
What the cabin crew member says
The salary breakdown was shared by Flydubai cabin crew member Simran Chhatwal on her Instagram handle. In her caption, she explained the structure of her monthly earnings in detail, writing, "The basic salary is around 3,200 AED per month. On top of that, we get around 50 AED per flying hour, and most crew usually fly somewhere between 100 and 120 hours a month (sometimes even more depending on the roster)."
She further added, "Then there are layover allowances, plus company benefits like housing and transportation allowance, which adds even more."
"So, by the end of the month, depending on how much we fly, routes, layovers and roster, earnings can go up to around 14,000-15,000 AED. Of course, every month can look a little different, but this is a rough estimate for anyone curious about cabin crew life in Dubai."
