Emirates, the world’s biggest long-haul airline, has started a global campaign to recruit 3,000 cabin crew and 500 airport services employees to join its Dubai hub over the next six months as the carrier seeks to ramp up operations to cater to recovering travel demand.

The jobs are Dubai-based positions and frontline customer-facing roles, and both roles offer exciting opportunities for friendly, energetic, and service-oriented people to meet and interact with the world as Emirates’ brand ambassadors. Candidates who are interested in joining Emirates can submit applications at the official recruitment site of the airline group.

Emirates has gradually restored its network operations in line with the easing of travel restrictions around the world, and over the past months, it has been recalling pilots, cabin crew and other operational employees who were stood down when the pandemic forced a drastic reduction in flights last year.

Last year, the COVID-19 hit the global aviation industry and led to airlines grounding aircraft, cutting jobs and slashing salaries. However, the global reopening of economies, the easing of pandemic-induced travel restrictions and accelerated vaccination programs are leading to a rebound in travel demand.

Emirates has gradually restored its operations in line with the easing of travel restrictions around the world. In recent months it has recalled pilots, cabin crew and other operational employees who were stood down due to the pandemic.

The airline currently flies to over 120 cities, representing 90 percent of its pre-pandemic network, and it plans to restore 70 percent of its capacity by the end of the year, including bringing back more of its iconic A380 aircraft into active service.

Dubai has led the world in its response to the pandemic with its rapid vaccination roll-outs and clear pandemic protocols. These measures have enabled Dubai to quickly and safely re-open to international tourism and business activities since July 2020.
