Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, is set to embark on an unprecedented recruitment journey in 2024, aiming to bring 5000 new cabin crew members on board.
This substantial increase will bolster the existing cabin crew team by an impressive 25%, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to providing passengers with the best inflight experience.
The recruitment drive is designed to attract a diverse range of candidates, with a focus on recent graduates, young professionals, and individuals with a background in hospitality or customer service. Aspiring cabin crew members will have the opportunity to join one of the most iconic brands in the aviation industry and learn invaluable hospitality and life skills from top-notch trainers.
Emirates, known for its extensive global network, plans to conduct open days and assessments in over 460 cities across six continents. This approach reflects the airline’s commitment to diversity and showcases the cosmopolitan nature of its cabin crew team. As part of this recruitment initiative, Emirates encourages candidates from around the world to consider the vibrant and dynamic city of Dubai as their base for living and working.
In 2023, Emirates made headlines by hiring a remarkable 8,000 cabin crew members, demonstrating its resilience and determination to recover from the challenges posed by the global pandemic. The airline’s cabin crew numbers surpassed the 20,000 milestone in August 2023, reaching a formidable strength of 21,500 professionals.
The recruitment surge aligns with Emirates’ strategic expansion plans, coinciding with the anticipated arrival of its new fleet of Airbus A350s, expected from mid-year. Furthermore, the airline is set to welcome the Boeing 777-Xs starting in 2025, with a substantial order of 65 A350s and a mix of 205 Boeing 777-9s and 777-8s. These state-of-the-art aircraft will not only enhance the airline’s operational efficiency but also provide the flexibility to explore new routes and expand its global reach.
