Yekaterinburg Beauty Makes Stewardess Semifinal
Yekaterinburg resident Adel Ravilova has reached the semifinals of the international beauty contest "Top Stewardesses." The Ural Airlines flight attendant has worked in aviation for less than a year and entered the profession by chance.
Adel spent many years professionally in equestrian sports, competing and working as a coach. In February 2025, she saw a recruitment ad for flight attendants and decided to apply. She says her equestrian experience instilled discipline, responsibility, teamwork skills, and calmness in any situation — all qualities that have served her in the air.
She passed an online selection and interview. Soon, all contestants will travel to Moscow, where a jury will decide who advances to the final.
Another Yekaterinburg native, 20-year-old Yaroslava Yartsishevskaya, is also vying for the title of best stewardess. She is participating for the second time and aims to win, despite having worked as a flight attendant for only six months.
