Prepare for Comlux’s VIP cabin crew interview

How to read this guide

Free to read · What is Comlux's own information, what is Galley's preparation, and what Galley doesn't know.

This guide has two kinds of content, always labelled. Comlux facts come from Comlux's own website and the press releases on it, its values booklet and its job ads, or from EASA, each with a source tag such as [S1] and the date Galley read it. Galley preparation is Galley's own advice and practice material for cabin crew on large VIP aircraft and business jets.

Galley doesn't know Comlux's interview questions, tests or selection steps, and doesn't guess them. None of this guide comes from Comlux's interviews.

Crew Interview Insights: none yet. When crew who interviewed at Comlux share their experience and Galley accepts it, it's added here at no cost, labelled "Self-reported" or "Attendance supported by evidence". Galley can't promise when.

Who Comlux is

Free to read · The group and its companies, its three AOCs and bases, the fleet from Globals to Boeing wide-bodies, cabin completions and safety record.

• Comlux is a private aviation group headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Its home page presents three businesses: Comlux Aviation (operating and managing VIP aircraft, and charter), Comlux Transaction (aircraft sales and acquisitions) and Comlux Services (technical, operational, consulting and crew services). Its job ads also name Comlux Kazakhstan as part of the group. [S1] [S3] [S14]
• Comlux says it has managed more than 80 aircraft since 2003, keeps no more than 35 in operation at any one time, and has more than 700 aviation professionals. [S3]
• It operates under three air operator certificates (AOCs), Malta (9H), Aruba (P4) and Kazakhstan (UP), and names Malta, Dubai and Almaty as its bases. Transport Malta issues the Malta AOC under EASA rules; Comlux Malta Ltd holds it, with a CAMO and, since 2024, an EASA Part-145 maintenance approval. [S3] [S2] [S7] [S11]
• The managed fleet includes Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Embraer, Pilatus and Dassault aircraft. The charter-fleet page lists eleven: a Boeing 787, a BBJ 767, a Boeing 737, two ACJ319s, an ACJ318, two ACJ TwoTwentys, a Challenger 850, a Challenger 604 and a Praetor 600. [S2] [S4]
• In July 2026 Comlux wrote that it manages four ACJ TwoTwentys, more than any other operator. It added the world's first Bombardier Global 8000 to its managed fleet in April 2026 and a second in September 2026; in October 2025 the CEO of Comlux Aviation described a Global 6500 fleet alongside its wide-body fleet. [S7] [S8] [S9]
• Under a Comlux management agreement, the owner approves every charter flight on their aircraft before Comlux confirms it to the charter client. [S7]
• Cabin completions: Comlux America in Indianapolis outfits VIP cabins and maintains aircraft, and Airbus chose Comlux as its exclusive completion partner for the first 17 ACJ TwoTwentys. In September 2025 Comlux published the news that a private equity firm, Everpeak Capital Group, had invested in Comlux America (the deal closed on 1 August 2025); Comlux Group kept part ownership. [S6] [S10]
• In Dubai, Comlux runs a 20,000 m² service and maintenance centre at Al Maktoum International (DWC). It is the group's Middle East and Africa headquarters, holds an EASA Part-145 approval, has a hangar for two ACJs or BBJs, and shows clients a full-size ACJ TwoTwenty cabin mock-up. [S5]
• Safety and reliability: Comlux lists an IS-BAO aircraft management programme, an integrated safety management system and an EBAA award for more than 70,000 accident-free flight hours and, under reliability, ETOPS 180 and CAT IIIB operations. [S3]

The fleet is what Comlux's pages showed on 10 November 2026; a managed fleet changes all the time. Galley's reading: Comlux cabin crew fly on aircraft that owners have placed with Comlux, from Global business jets to ACJs, BBJs and Boeing wide-bodies, carrying the owner, their guests, and charter clients the owner has accepted.

The role and what Comlux asks for

Free to read · The three open cabin crew ads (Tashkent, Dubai, the Global fleet), what the job involves, the requirements and what each application form asks for.

Comlux Aviation had three cabin crew ads open on its careers site on 10 November 2026: VIP Cabin Crew Member in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (posted October 2025); VVIP Cabin Crew, Dubai base (May 2026); and VVIP Cabin Crew Member, Bombardier Global fleet, also at Dubai South (22 October 2026). All three are full-time roles in Flight Operations. [S14]

• The job, as all three ads describe it: personal, discreet service that anticipates what each passenger wants; cabin safety, hygiene and presentation; catering, amenities and in-flight set-ups prepared to the client's preferences and protocols; changing schedules; absolute confidentiality. The two Dubai ads add working with the wider aviation team. [S14]
• Experience: the Tashkent ad calls VVIP or corporate aviation experience a valued advantage; the Dubai ad calls experience in VVIP, corporate or private aviation, or in a premium cabin, essential; the Global fleet ad makes VVIP, corporate or private aviation experience a must and requires previous experience on the Global 6500. [S14]
• All three ask for impeccable grooming and communication skills, organisation and self-motivation in a fast-paced environment (the Dubai ads say under pressure), ease in a multicultural team, and loyalty and discretion. The Tashkent ad also asks for cultural sensitivity, respect for other traditions, a proactive service style and safety awareness; the two Dubai ads, composure in sensitive situations, flexibility, dependability and the ability to earn the trust of high-profile passengers. [S14]
• Both Dubai ads mention competitive pay and career growth. The Global fleet ad adds a tax-free contract, a rotational roster, a daily meal allowance on duty, hotels during duty periods, health insurance and professional training. The Tashkent ad lists no package. [S14]
• Every application form asks for your CV, full postal address, date of birth and height (and weight, on the Tashkent and Dubai forms), which Comlux says it needs for safety reasons such as reaching safety equipment; whether you can swim (the Global form says unaided); your notice period; and your years in first or business class with an international airline and on private or corporate jets. Desired pay and the date you're available are optional fields on every form. [S14]
• Every form asks you to upload a full-length photo and a casual photo (a portrait too, required only on the Global form), your passport, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, your initial cabin crew training certificate or EASA attestation, a recommendation letter (on the Global form, one confirming your Global experience) and a first or business class training certificate. The recommendation-letter upload is required on every form, even though the Tashkent and Dubai forms say a letter applies only if you have corporate or private aviation experience. [S14]
• Each form adds its own questions. Tashkent: where you are based and whether you speak Russian. Dubai: whether you live in Dubai or would move there, and copies of your visas. Global fleet: where you are based, whether you speak and understand Arabic, your Global 6500 experience, and your desired monthly salary in US dollars (a required question there). The Tashkent and Dubai forms also ask for a COVID-19 vaccination certificate. [S14]
• On its ACJ TwoTwenty fleet, Comlux gives each aircraft a Lead Captain and a Lead Cabin Crew member, and keeps a pool of cabin crew trained on several aircraft types. A typical flight carries two pilots, one or two flight attendants depending on the number of passengers, and a flight station engineer. [S7]
• The careers page and every ad point candidates to Comlux's values. Its values booklet names ten: respect, reliability, support and solidarity, delegating without abdicating, quality, creativity, sustainability, recognising everyone's work, cost consciousness and open communication. [S12] [S13] [S14]
• The careers page discourages e-mailing unsolicited CVs, citing data protection: Comlux posts its openings on the careers site and can't answer every spontaneous application. A Dubai-based cabin crew instructor quoted there calls the work highly demanding, and says precision, discretion and adaptability are essential. [S12]

Galley's advice: each form asks for something different, so check your CV and documents against the ad you apply for. Not stated in the ads: which AOC each role flies under, which aircraft (only the Global fleet ad names a type, the Global 6500), the roster pattern (the Global ad says rotational, without the pattern), the salary, the selection steps after the form, and the start date. Ask about these at interview.
