Jobs in Dubai: Emirates Airline is hiring; here’s how to apply

Abu Dhabi: Dubai-based Emirates airlines on Tuesday announced a major recruitment drive to hire cabin crew from around the world.

Emirates is now hiring people from 30 cities across the globe until June 2022.

In October 2021, Emirates airlines planned to recruit more than 6,000 staff over the next six months in response to the easing of COVID-19 regulations around the world.

In this latest drive, the Emirates team will travel from Australia to the UK. They will also visit dozens of European cities, as well as Cairo, Algiers, Tunis, and Bahrain.

“There’s no more exciting airline than Emirates for anyone interested in a flying career, and we’ve received tremendous interest since we began our recruitment drive for cabin crew in November,” said Emirates group’s executive vice president for human resources, Abdulaziz Al Ali.

“While parts of the application process are done online, we always make the effort to meet our candidates in person whenever we can, and that is why our talent acquisition team is doing a whirlwind 30-city tour over the next 6 weeks to assess prospective candidates.”
