KLM cabin crew recruitment 2026, Dutch language, contracts and the Amsterdam base
-
#1 For the frequent question: KLM requires Dutch at a good working level for cabin crew and recruits for the Amsterdam base. Contracts start fixed-term with conversion to permanent, and the collective agreement gives protected rest and a good days-off pattern similar to Lufthansa. Process: online application, assessment with group and role-play, interview in Dutch and English. Non-Dutch speakers: Transavia and the KLM Cityhopper side have their own postings, but Dutch is still generally expected.

#2 Air France is the same story with French, the legacy carriers hire for their home language. The English-only doors in Europe are the low-cost carriers and the UK/Irish airlines.
