Emirates airlines is employing – opens mass recruitment of pilots, engineers, others

The Emirates Group is laying the groundwork for its next big growth phase with a mammoth drive to recruit the best minds and talent globally across 180 unique roles.

The Group is looking to cherry-pick cabin crew, pilots, engineers, IT professionals and customer service agents at both Emirates and dnata.

Despite tough labor market conditions globally, the Emirates Group ended its financial year on March 31 with more than 102,000 employees, after having welcomed 17,160 people in various roles throughout the year.

Senior Vice President (Human Resources) at the Emirates Group, Oliver Grohmann, said the Emirates Group has built an extraordinary reputation as an employer of choice and as a trailblazing force in aviation.

“Our focus is on recruiting the best talent, the brightest minds, and those most fit for the various roles that will support and drive our future growth and expansion.”

The fresh callout for cabin crew and pilots comes at one of the most exciting times in Emirates’ history – a year of record financial results and profit share, projected growth, network expansion, delivery of the new fleet of Airbus A350s and Boeing 777-Xs starting in 2024, a buoyant travel market and an optimistic outlook overall.

Emirates is organizing open days and invite-only events across 6 continents, covering hundreds of cities all year round, in search of the brightest talent to offer customers an unmatched onboard experience. The recruitment process is carefully designed to be completed within a day, and candidates are contacted within 48 hours of the assessment.

To recruit pilots, the airline is holding a series of open days to recruit pilots in the UK and Ireland – Dublin, Manchester, London Gatwick and London Stansted – in August, after successfully running these events in Budapest, Madrid and Lisbon in June. An online information session is slated for 19 July at 1pm Dubai time.
