CCM

abbreviationStandard termAviation

A Cabin Crew Member is a trained professional responsible for passenger safety and service on a commercial flight.

A Cabin Crew Member handles everything in the passenger cabin from emergency evacuations and first aid to securing the cabin for takeoff and landing. While passengers often view them primarily as service staff, their primary regulatory function is safety. They must be certified on specific aircraft types to operate emergency exits and survival equipment.
