The Emirates Group has launched a global initiative to attract and hire talent as part of its new growth phase.
The group aims to recruit 17,300 employees during the current fiscal year, offering 350 varied positions.
These roles span a wide range of sectors within both Emirates Airlines and dnata.
The organization is specifically seeking hundreds of candidates for positions such as cabin crew, pilots, engineers, sales and marketing teams, customer service representatives, ground handling, catering, IT, human resources, and finance.
Dnata is particularly looking to onboard over 4,000 specialists in cargo services, catering, and ground handling.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airlines and the Group, stated: “The Emirates Group’s human resources strategy aligns with the goals of Dubai’s Economic Agenda D33 and our ambitious growth and expansion plans.
We are in search of global talent to support our significant ambitions, reshape the future of aviation, and uphold our commitment to a culture of innovation and excellence. This opportunity is exceptional for candidates to play an active role in the future and strategy of the group and its success story.”
The group plans to hold over 2,100 recruitment events and open days this year across 150 cities worldwide to attract top pilots, IT professionals, engineers, and cabin crew members.
Additionally, the events will include open days in Dubai aimed at recruiting local students and graduates.
These events provide valuable opportunities for those interested in joining the group to meet hiring experts, engage with current employees, and hear about their success stories.
Since 2022, the group has added over 41,000 employees, including around 27,000 in operational roles, bringing the total number of employees today to approximately 121,000.
The Emirates Group is a prominent destination for talent and one of the top employers in the UAE and worldwide.
In the past fiscal year alone, the group received over 3.7 million job applications for various brands and departments, driven by its strong brand, global reputation, employee-centric strategy, tax-free salaries, excellent benefits, and exceptional training, development, and recognition programs.
