DUBAI: The Emirates Group has just launched one of its biggest global recruitment drives yet — and they’re looking to hire over 17,000 talented individuals across more than 350 different roles this financial year. From cabin crew and pilots to engineers, finance, and IT specialists, there’s something for everyone looking to soar in their careers.
This fresh hiring wave spans both Emirates and dnata, the group’s global air and travel services provider. Dnata alone plans to bring in over 4,000 new team members for cargo, catering, and ground handling jobs. Emirates, on the other hand, is on the lookout for hundreds of professionals to fill key roles in customer service, commercial sales, HR, operations, and tech.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group, said the recruitment effort aligns with Dubai’s bold D33 economic vision and the Group’s own growth goals. “We’re seeking world-class talent to fuel our ambition and redefine the future of aviation,” he stated, emphasising innovation and excellence.
To attract the best, the Group is planning more than 2,100 hiring events in over 150 cities this year. These include open days for pilots, cabin crew, IT experts, and engineers — plus special events for Emirati students and graduates here in Dubai.
Since 2022, Emirates has hired more than 41,000 professionals, growing its team to a whopping 121,000 people. The Group’s reputation as an employer of choice remains solid, with 3.7 million job applications pouring in last year alone. People are drawn by the tax-free pay, unbeatable perks, and a strong focus on training, development, and career growth.
With Dubai’s unbeatable lifestyle, safety, and future-forward vibe, this is a golden chance for professionals across the globe to take their careers to new heights — with Emirates at the cockpit.
