Emirates airlines to recruit 6,000 staff over next six months

Abu Dhabi: Dubai based Emirates airlines plans to recruit more than 6,000 staff over the next six months in response to the easing of COVID-19 regulations around the world and the increase in vaccination rates.
The airline plans to hire pilots, cabin crew, engineering specialists and ground staff.
Emirates, which has been gradually restoring its network operations in line with the easing of travel restrictions, has called back pilots, cabin crew and other operational staff who resigned when the pandemic caused a significant reduction in flights last year.
Dubai’s flagship carrier has already restored 90 per cent of its network and is on track to reach 70 per cent of its pre-pandemic capacity by the end of 2021.
Emirates airline and group chairman and chief executive, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said the urgent need for new appointments indicates the “rapid recovery” of the country’s economy – and is therefore a promising sign for world-class airlines.
On October 22,2021, the US aircraft maker Boeing predicted that the UAE and Middle Eastern airlines would hire about 196,000 new employees over the next 20 years , including 54,000 pilots, 51,000 technicians and 91,000 cabin crew.
