Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Cabin crew basics are low (£18,000–£24,000) but flying pay, allowances and commission lift take-home to £26,000–£38,000 with seniors and pursers above; ground and check-in staff pay close to the National Living Wage with shift allowances. First officers earn £45,000–£90,000 and captains £100,000–£180,000 depending on airline and fleet.
