For an aircraft with 60 passengers, how many flight attendants are required?

• A. One
• B. Three
• C. Two
• D. Four

Answer: (C)

Flight attendant staffing follows a simple rule: assign one flight attendant for every 50 passenger seats, or a fraction thereof. For 60 passengers, divide 60 by 50 to get 1.2, then round up to the next whole number because you can’t assign a fraction of a person. That means two flight attendants are required. One would not provide enough coverage for 60 seats, while three or four would exceed the minimum for this many seats.
