Emirates is marking the imminent arrival of its new fleet of Airbus A350s with a global cabin crew recruitment drive with a difference.
The hiring initiative is designed primarily for those who will soon or have recently stepped into the world of work.
The airline is inviting fresh graduates with internships or part-time jobs on their resumes, those with a year or so of hospitality or customer service experience.
Open days and assessments will be held in more than 460 cities across six continents in 2024.
The recruitment drive comes as the airline begins to take delivery of its eagerly anticipated A350s from mid-year and the Boeing 777-Xs starting in 2025.
The 5,000 new recruits will boost the Dubai-based carrier's existing cabin crew numbers by 25 per cent.
Emirates’ cabin crew enjoy a competitive, tax-free salary and flying pay, in addition to annual leave ticket, furnished accommodation, transportation to and from work, medical, life and dental insurance coverage, laundry services and other benefits.
They are also eligible for profit share, hotel stays and layover expenses, concessional travel and cargo, while friends and family enjoy deeply discounted flight tickets.
