With a massive campaign to fill 180 different posts with the brightest minds and talent from around the world, the Emirates Group is building the basis for its next significant growth phase. At both Emirates and dnata, the Group is seeking to hire only the best cabin crew, pilots, engineers, IT specialists, and customer care representatives.
Despite difficult conditions in the global labour market, the Emirates Group finished its fiscal year on March 31 with more than 102,000 employees, having hired 17,160 people for a variety of positions throughout the course of the year.
Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Emirates Group Oliver Grohmann stated: “The Emirates Group has established an amazing reputation as a top employer and a pioneer in the aviation industry. People strive to work and live in Dubai, one of the world’s safest, most cosmopolitan, and vibrant cities, as well as to be a part of the Group’s growth narrative and its objectives. For positions across the business, we received about 2.7 million applications during the most recent fiscal year. In order to shortlist, choose, and reply to candidates in the most effective manners possible, we use cutting-edge technologies like digital assessments, artificial intelligence, and other top-tier recruitment tools. The people who are most qualified for the many positions that will support and drive our future growth and expansion are individuals we are concentrating on hiring.
The new recruitment drive for flight attendants and pilots coincides with one of Emirates’ most exciting periods in history: a year of record financial results and profit share, projected growth, network expansion, delivery of the new fleet of Airbus A350 and Boeing 777-X aircraft beginning in 2024, a booming travel industry, and an upbeat outlook in general.
Cabin staff
In order to provide customers with an unrivalled onboard experience, Emirates organises open days and invite-only events across six continents, visiting hundreds of cities all year long. The application procedure is meticulously planned to be finished in a single day, and candidates are contacted 48 hours after the assessment.
After operating these events successfully in Budapest, Madrid, and Lisbon in June, Pilots Emirates is holding a series of open days to attract pilots across the UK and Ireland – Dublin, Manchester, London Gatwick, and London Stansted – in August. On July 19 at 1 PM Dubai time, there will be an online information session.
Emirates’ pilots fly one of the world’s newest and most technologically advanced fleets of 260 all-wide-body Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft to 150 locations on six continents and over every type of terrain, including the North Pole. Over 900 new pilots have joined the airline’s three recruitment programmes since 2022: Direct Entry Captains, Accelerated Command, and First Officers.
A330, A340, A350, and A380 fly-by-wire wide-body aircraft are suitable for captains with recent command experience. The A380 Direct Entry Captain is created for them.
Accelerated Command: for seasoned Airbus Captains who currently fly regional routes in narrow-body aircraft.
Those with multi-engine, multi-crew aviation expertise and a current Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) should serve as first officers.
Engineers
In July and August, Emirates Engineering is organising open houses in Australia, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, and the UK. Emirates is hiring 75 structural technicians in addition to over 400 positions in engineering support and aircraft maintenance engineering, with a fleet of 260 wide-body aircraft, the largest retrofit programme in aviation under way internally, and the 777-X and A350 soon to join.
