Chinese airlines have enlisted more than 300 stewardesses from other countries to provide better service for foreign travelers.

Air China, the national carrier, has sent a team to Germany for recruiting the first batch of German stewardesses. If everything goes on smoothly, the German stewardesses will serve customers in Beijing at the end of this year, Beijing Daily said on Thursday.

Seventeen stewardesses from India arrived in Shanghai last week to join China Eastern Airlines.

Statistics showed that some 330 foreign stewardesses now work for Chinese airlines. The foreign stewardesses are required to speak Chinese.

It is reported that the income of foreign stewardesses doubles that of domestic stewardesses.
