Cabin crew and passenger safety

Priorities

Sir, – In the light of the miraculous evacuation of almost 400 people from the Airbus A350 at Tokyo (“Japan Airlines crash: How passengers in Tokyo were evacuated to safety as blaze engulfed plane”, World, January 3rd), it would be timely to establish in the minds of the travelling public the primary purpose of cabin crew, which is passenger safety and comfort. – Yours, etc,
