Hey newjoiners...
As most of you aware...You will need to re-do your medicals in AUH as part of GCAA & Also in order to obtain your UAE Residence Visa.
The GCAA has recently upgraded the
medical standards of cabin crew from
class IV to class II, which is equivalent
to pilots, meaning medicals are abit tougher now.
This applies to all Cabincrew joining any UAE Carrier, Air Arabia, Emirates, Etihad, etc etc...
These changes include -
Psychiatric: standards have become more
rigid
• Neurological: cases of severe head
injury, unconsciousness without
explainable medical reason and all cases of
epilepsy will be unfit for cabin crew duties
• Cardiovascular: ECG will be a part of the
medical examination
• Visual: only safe defective cases of
colour blindness will be accepted and
individuals requiring visual correction or eye
surgery will undergo complete examination
• Hearing: any hearing loss or ear disease will
require a full ENT check
