British Airways to double Mandarin-speaking cabin crew on China routes

British Airways expects to have 50 more Mandarin-speaking cabin crew aboard its flights to Beijing and Shanghai by July, Chief Customer Officer Calum Laming said, which will take the total number to 100 and make China its second-largest overseas crew base after India. The British flag carrier resumed direct passenger flights to Shanghai in April and to Beijing in June last year, after China reopened borders shut by almost three years of Covid-19 curbs.
