This recruitment drive follows the hiring of a staggering 8,000 cabin crew members by Emirates in 2023, as the airline expanded its services after the pandemic.

In 2024, Emirates’ recruitment team plans to host open days and assessments in more than 460 cities across six continents. The recruitment initiative aligns with Emirates’ fleet and network expansion plans, which include the delivery of Airbus A350s from mid-year and Boeing 777-Xs starting in 2025. With 65 A350s and a combination of 205 777-9s and 777-8s on order, Emirates aims to extend its reach and flexibility in adding new routes to its network.

Once selected, new cabin crew recruits will undergo an intensive eight-week training program in Dubai, focusing on delivering exceptional hospitality, safety, and service. The training equips them with vital skills such as effective communication, initiative, leadership qualities, and the ability to work harmoniously in a multicultural team. Cabin crew members also have access to ongoing training programs and LinkedIn courses to enhance their professional development.

Working as cabin crew for Emirates offers excellent career progression opportunities, including advancements to higher cabin classes, positions such as cabin supervisor, purser, or trainer, and the ability to apply for internal vacancies within the Emirates Group.

Emirates’ cabin crew members enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Dubai, a city known for its vibrant culture, diverse cuisine, and safety. They receive competitive tax-free salaries, flying pay, profit share eligibility, hotel stays, layover expenses, concessional travel and cargo benefits, annual leave with tickets, furnished accommodation, transportation to and from work, and various other perks.
