The foreign language competency development is in line with the national carrier’s ongoing cabin crew service enhancement.

All 25 cabin crew graduates had undergone 100 training hours to complete the Advanced Elementary level, which is the continuation of the Elementary level that they completed last year. For the Advanced Elementary level, the training still emphasized on speaking skills using more complex vocabulary and sentence structure. The instructors for this Arabic course are Arab native speakers from ALDIWAN Arabic Language Center, Kuala Lumpur.

Following completion of the training, the graduates will be equipped with advance communication skills to interact with Arabic speaking passengers. They will also be rated in their ability to make announcements in Arabic, to ensure that they are competent to do this on Malaysia Airlines’ flights between Malaysia and the Middle East routes. To keep these skills constantly polished, the crew will be assigned on a regular basis throughout the year on routes such as between Kuala Lumpur – Jeddah, Dammam and Dubai.
