Passenger Safety Brief

[TightSlot]

I believe (repeat, believe) that the requirement falls to the registered nationality of the airline/aircraft for the briefing i.e. a British registered airline/aircraft is only mandated to brief passengers in English, an Italian airline/aircraft in Italian etc. etc. Safety briefings in other languages are not mandated - although they might be a good idea.

Please let me know if that is incorrect - It is certainly what I remember being the case in the past, in my shorthaul days

Edit - P.S. - A non-English speaking pax travelling on a British airline, seated at the 737 over-wing exit (a 'self-help' exit as it is known) would have to be moved, as it would not be possible for a CC to adequately brief them before departure, or for them to understand CC instructions in an emergency.
