Cabin crew jobs with UAE, Gulf airlines in high demand – and come with higher pay scales too
These airlines place extra emphasis on fresh graduates, and offering higher pay too
High demand for cabin crews isn’t the only reason why candidates are hoping to land a job with some of the biggest UAE and Gulf airlines. Pay scales and perks are better too when compared with carriers elsewhere in the world.
Emirates airline caused quite the stir recently when announcing it would be hiring an additional 5,000 staff as cabin crew this year for its new aircraft.
Not only would it be a substantial intake on the 8,000 who have already entered their jobs in the recent past, Emirates said it would be looking for fresh entrants to the industry as their picks. “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,” said an Emirates’ spokesperson.
Another UAE carrier Air Arabia is also placing emphasis on fresh graduates.
“Given that UAE travel demand is expected to go higher than 2023 levels, the demand for aviation professionals will remain high this year as well,” said a cabin crew trainer. (Global traveller numbers are expected to hit 4 billion this year, according to IATA).
