Trinity Airways trains cabin crew in CPR and emergency first aid

Trinity Airways has teamed up with the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and the Korean Association of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to strengthen its cabin crew's ability to respond to in-flight medical emergencies.

The airline said Friday that it held CPR and emergency first aid training for 31 cabin crew instructors and crew members at COEX Magok in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, on Wednesday.

The session was designed to sharpen crew members' ability to respond quickly and accurately to medical emergencies that may arise in the cabin, while also promoting a culture of safety within the company through collaboration with specialist organizations.

The curriculum covered the importance of first aid and its core principles, initial response procedures and reporting protocols when a cardiac arrest patient is found, CPR theory and hands-on practice, automated external defibrillator use, and how to handle specific emergencies such as airway obstruction.

Under the guidance of professional instructors, participants practiced CPR techniques and emergency first aid procedures directly, building their on-scene response capabilities.

"Swift initial response by crew members in an in-flight emergency is paramount, and we organized this training to build practical response capabilities," a Trinity Airways official said. "We will continue working with specialist organizations to strengthen our emergency first aid skills and do our utmost to provide an air travel service that customers can use with confidence."

Meanwhile, Trinity Airways is accepting applications for experienced flight crew positions through its official recruitment website until 2 p.m. on Nov. 18.
