Explanation
This is a Thai transcription of the English term “air hostess,” traditionally used for a female flight attendant.

The classifier คน is used when counting people: แอร์โฮสเตสสองคน means “two female flight attendants.”

Caution
The term specifically refers to a woman. When gender is unknown or a neutral, official job title is preferred, use พนักงานต้อนรับบนเครื่องบิน. แอร์โฮสเตส is not normally used for a male flight attendant.
