If there is one Middle East airline that I highly encourage aspirants to consider for a cabin crew position, it would be Emirates! And the best news now is Emirates will be hiring 5,000 cabin crew for its new fleet of Airbus A350s. In fact, Emirates’ recruitment team will be busy hosting open days and assessments in over 460 cities across six continents. This global reach mirrors the diversity and extensive network of Emirates. Just last year, the airline hired 8,000 cabin crew members, reaching a significant milestone of over 21,500 crew members in August 2023.
The drive is particularly aimed at those just starting their professional journeys. Fresh graduates with internships or part-time job experiences, individuals with a background in hospitality or customer service, and anyone eager for a global career are welcome to apply. New recruits will join the world’s largest international airline and one of the most recognized brands globally. They’ll get the chance to learn from top-notch trainers, hone their hospitality skills, and gain life experiences that are second to none.
Travel, Learn, and Grow with Emirates
One of the perks being an Emirates cabin crew member is they get to travel to over 140 cities in 76 countries, immersing themselves in diverse cultures and experiences. But it’s more than just travel; it’s about being part of a community that values excellence in service and creating memorable experiences for passengers.
The recruitment drive is timely as Emirates gears up to receive its much-awaited A350s from mid-2024 and Boeing 777-Xs starting in 2025. With 65 A350s and a mix of 205 777-9s and 777-8s on order, these new aircraft are set to expand the airline’s network and offer even more flexibility in route planning.
Training for Excellence
New cabin crew recruits go through an intensive eight-week training program in Dubai. They learn the art of delivering exceptional service, safety protocols, and hospitality standards that Emirates is renowned for. Moreover, they acquire valuable skills like communication, teamwork, and leadership, making them well-rounded professionals and ambassadors of the Emirates brand.
Ane Monego Castagna from Italy, a recent recruit, shares her journey of chasing her dreams with Emirates, emphasizing the transformative experience and lifelong friendships made along the way. Robyn Clark from the UK echoes these sentiments, expressing pride in wearing the iconic Emirates uniform and gratitude for the unforgettable experiences and the chance to call Dubai home.
The Emirates cabin crew community is a melting pot of over 140 nationalities, speaking 130 languages. This diversity fosters a sense of unity, purpose, and shared service philosophy. Career progression opportunities are abundant, with roles like cabin supervisor, purser, or trainer available for those looking to climb the career ladder.
Cabin crew enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Dubai, a city known for its safety, vibrant culture, and leisure activities. Along with a competitive tax-free salary, crew members benefit from perks like hotel stays, concessional travel, comprehensive medical coverage, and more. Emirates ensures its crew not only work in a world-class environment but also live a life of adventure and fulfillment.
Now the only question is, will Emirates be hiring cabin crew from the Philippines as well? Only time can tell.
