Do all airlines require a 212 cm arm reach?

No. In the criteria we last verified, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Riyadh Air and Saudia list a 212 cm reach (Saudia on tiptoes). The Etihad Airways, flydubai and Air Arabia criteria we verified did not include a reach requirement. Measure yourself and check the airline’s own wording.

Can I cover a visible tattoo?

Emirates, Etihad Airways, Riyadh Air, flydubai and Air Arabia all list “no visible tattoos in uniform” (Air Arabia says tattoos or marks) in the criteria we verified. Etihad adds that cosmetic or bandage coverings are not permitted. Check the airline’s own wording before you apply; read more in our article on tattoos and cabin crew.

flydubai and Emirates are both in Dubai. Are their requirements the same?

No. They share a base city, not criteria. As we last verified them, the minimum height, the arm-reach rule and the swimming requirement differ. Compare them on the flydubai and Emirates pages.
