steward

Diese Person arbeitet in einem Flugzeug oder auf einem Schiff und kümmert sich um die Gäste, serviert Essen und sorgt für Sicherheit.

The German word "Steward" (also commonly referred to as "Stewardess" for female) is a borrowed noun from English that refers to a person (primarily in the context of aviation and hospitality) responsible for the care and service of passengers. In the context of a flight, a "Steward" ensures passenger comfort, safety, and service during the journey.

Similar terms in German include "Flugbegleiter" (flight attendant) and "Servicekraft" (service staff). The primary difference is that "Steward" is frequently associated specifically with airline personnel, while "Flugbegleiter" is a more formal and commonly used term across various forms of transportation. "Stewardess" may carry a connotation tied closely to female attendants, whereas "Flugbegleiter" is gender-neutral.
