air steward

Cabin crew member

An air steward is a man who attends to passengers on a commercial flight—serving meals, ensuring safety, and providing assistance.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say flight attendant or, traditionally, steward.

The air steward demonstrated the emergency exits before takeoff.
