The European Cabin Crew Association EurECCA is an European organisation based in Belgium at the heart of Europe. It is made up of cabin crew unions from European Union Member States as well as accession states and bordering states.

EurECCA has no political connections; it concentrates on the interest of flight attendants speaking for actual more than 70% of organized cabin crew all over Europe.

EurECCA promotes and fights for the well- developed European social model to improve general living and working conditions for its members in the European framework.

EurECCA is rooted in the airline industry, not politically aligned, independent with experts on cabin crew matters sharing the vision of a democratic, solidary and prosperous Europe, to work together on these matters on the European level.

EurECCA represents more than 35.000 cabin crew affiliated to 9 European Cabin Crew unions in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland and Ireland. As we represent 70% of all organised cabin crew in Europe, we are a representative stakeholder at all tables that concern cabin and passenger safety, cabin crew health and safety as well as cabin crew working time limitations and social aspects.

EurECCA is legally based in Belgium with an office in Brussels.

Unions are a vital part of the European social model so unions doesn‘t harm but helps the company!

Many other carriers with similar business models also have collective agreements and can in spite of that or for exactly that reason continue to fly with their business model.

In case you worry about your membership: Ryanair will never find out that you are a member with your national Cabin Crew union and with EurECCA.

The working conditions aboard an aircraft are hardly comparable to those of other professional groups. Your national Cabin Crew union was formed to indicate the individual problems and particularly advocate for the interests of our profession.

Colleagues of other European airlines refer to EurECCA as “The Cabin‘s Voice”.
