For my knowledge it's minimum one Cabin Crew per 50 SEATS.

In Australia

It's 36 pax to 1 FA.

Same for me as Catch up, UK is 1-crew - 50 pax.

Hence why if 1 door is in-op, 50 pax SHOULD be offloaded. (Not commonplace tho)

To my knowledge it's:

You calculate according to 2 parameters:
1)Number of pax
2)Number of doors

No CC if there are less than 20 pax

20 to 50 pax= 1CC
51 to 100 pax= 2CC
Then 1 additional CC every

1 CC for each pair of doors, plus 1 CC every 50 pax (even if quota of 50 pax incomplete= 320 pax: 7 CC )

Then 1 CC each pair of Type I doors. In case of odd number of Type I doors, the number of CC is rounded down (ex 3 Type I Doors= 1 CC)

The minimum number off CC required will be the result of the most restrictive of those two rules
ex. 350 pax, 8 Type I Doors:
Pax rule: 7 CC
Doors rule: 4CC
= 7 CC minimum (pax rule is the most restrictive )

In case of an aircraft with 2 decks, they have to be calculated as if it were 2 different aircrafts, unless one of the decks only has 1 Type I door and less than 20 pax.

Thanks a lot

To clearify, for my knowledge it's 1/50 SEATS rpd SEATS !

In Canada, the ratio is 1 cabin crew member per 40 passengers on board.

Canadian Aviation Regulations - Flight Attendant Requirements

Australian's CASA's regulation is 1:36. Geoff Dixon has been campaigning to have a 1:50 ratio so he can take off more crew, but so far he's failed. Fingers x'ed it will stay that way.
