July 12 — Flight Attendant's Day: date, beautiful greetings
Every year on July 12, civil aviation flight attendants, better known to passengers as stewards and stewardesses, celebrate their professional holiday. This is one of the most romantic, but also unpredictable professions, because anything can happen in the air. In 2025, the date falls on a Saturday. Izvestia tells about how the international holiday is celebrated and how to congratulate on the Flight attendant's Day.
The history of the World Flight Attendant Day holiday
The flight attendant profession has almost a century-old history. It is believed that it originated in 1928 in Germany. Then, due to the increase in the number and range of air transportation, a special person, a steward, began to be taken on board the aircraft. His duties included providing service during the flight: meeting passengers, helping with accommodation, and briefing before departure. Previously, the co-pilot of the aircraft was engaged in this.
Over time, the duties of the stewards have expanded. Now, during the flight, they monitor the climate in the cabin, settle all issues related to flights, and provide passengers and crew with food and drinks. As a rule, all kitchen duties — from ordering groceries to serving dishes — are also performed by flight attendants.
Moreover, the staff are fluent in one or more foreign languages, are able to provide first aid, know how to choose the right wine, use a fire extinguisher, tie up a brawler or escape from a shark. In addition to performing a wide range of duties, they should always look good, stay calm and be friendly, because they are the face of the airline.
And although the holiday in their honor has not been officially approved, many air carriers around the world congratulate their flight attendants in the middle of summer. The date of the professional celebration is fixed, so stewards and flight attendants receive congratulations on the same day — July 12, and in Russia on February 9, when Civil Aviation Worker's Day is celebrated.
Traditions of World Flight Attendant Day
Airlines often arrange special events with the awarding of the best specialists of the aviation industry. Reports and publications about the history and development of civil aviation with congratulatory words from top officials appear in the media.
It is not uncommon for flight attendants to be congratulated by aircraft passengers who are in the cabin. By good tradition, they are honored with loud applause.
Congratulations on Flight Attendant's Day – 2025
Congratulatory speeches often celebrate the dedication, bravery of the stewards and dedication to their favorite business. You can wish the perpetrators of the celebration happy flights, joyful meetings, and warmth in the sky and on earth. Here are some examples:
"Dear flight attendants! Congratulations on your professional holiday! Thank you for creating comfort and safety for passengers. May your flights always be easy. We wish you good health, inspiration, new experiences and bright moments in the sky!"
"Congratulations on Flight Attendant's Day! You are a true master at creating an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility in the sky. May your every flight be filled with vivid impressions and kind meetings. I wish that there will always be a place in your life for new heights and amazing discoveries!"
"Happy Flight Attendant's Day! May your life be like a successful flight — easy, bright and filled with vivid impressions. I wish you to discover unprecedented countries, conquer new horizons and inspire others by your example!"
Professional-related paraphernalia is usually chosen as a gift. These can be airplane models, souvenirs and decorative items, travel and perfume sets. Also, those who spend a lot of time above ground will be pleased with things related to the house: a medallion with a photo, a cozy blanket, a mug with a family photo.
