Who announces the after arrival announcement? When?

• A. FA1 after first turn off the active runway
• B. FA2 after landing
• C. PIC during taxi
• D. Ground staff after arrival

Answer: (A)

The person delivering the after-arrival message is the lead flight attendant, and the timing is after the aircraft has cleared the active runway and started taxiing away from it (the first turn off the runway). This moment is chosen so passengers receive the next-step information at a safe, appropriate time—not while still on the runway or immediately after landing. The captain (PIC) handles flight operations, not passenger announcements, and ground staff don’t speak to passengers from the aircraft cabin after arrival. The second flight attendant would typically assist, but the primary responsibility for the cabin announcement falls to the lead flight attendant once clear of the runway.
