Emirates has announced that over the next six months, the airline will increase its staff by hiring over 6,000 employees.
With restrictions on travel now easing as well as individuals getting vaccinated, additional pilots, cabin crew, engineering specialists and ground staff will be required as demand for travel has also increased.
90% of the network has been restored with expectations to hit 70% of its pre-pandemic capacity by the end of 2021.
Emirates also held a worldwide campaign in September to recruit 3,000 cabin crew and 500 airport services employees to join its Dubai hub and now require an additional 700 ground staff in Dubai and across its network.
600 qualified pilots and 1,200 skilled technical staff, comprising aircraft engineers and engineering support staff will also be required.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group said, “Emirates has always been at the heart of Dubai’s growth. Our requirement for 6,000 additional operational staff signifies the quick recovery Dubai’s economy is witnessing and will lead to opportunities and other positive developments across various other businesses, including those in the Consumer, travel and tourism sectors. We have been prudently restoring our operations in line with the borders re-opening and ease of travel protocols, and with the positive signs in the economic recovery and continuous growth of demand, we are hopeful to be back to where we were pre-pandemic, from mid-2022.”
