If getting paid to fly to exotic destinations is your dream, Emirates might have the answer.
The Dubai-based airline is on the hunt for people to join its cabin crew team and will host a recruitment open day to fill the roles. It will take place at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Newcastle on Thursday, May 23.
Those who are successful will join a team of 21,500, which includes over 1,000 members from the UK. They will have the opportunity to travel across more than 130 cities in 76 countries.
Emirates recently revealed a global recruitment drive, with plans to hire 5,000 cabin crew members across six continents in 2024 – boosting its existing cabin crew team by 25%. The airline is inviting fresh graduates with internships or part-time jobs on their CVs, those with at least a year of hospitality or customer service experience, and individuals keen to embark on an exciting career travelling the globe.
Emirates’ cabin crew enjoy a competitive, tax-free salary and flying pay, eligibility for profit share, hotel stays and layover expenses, concessional travel and cargo, annual leave, annual leave ticket, furnished accommodation, transportation to and from work, excellent medical, life and dental insurance coverage, laundry services and other benefits. Friends and family also enjoy discounted flight tickets.
Robyn Clark, who recently joined the cabin crew team in February 2023, said: “Working for Emirates is a job like no other. From the day I got the call to boarding every flight, I feel so proud of what I’ve accomplished.
“Putting on the iconic Emirates uniform every morning is a feeling I can’t explain this really is a dream come true. I will always be grateful to Emirates for the memories I’ve made, the amazing experiences I’ve had travelling the world, and being able to come back from my journeys to Dubai one of the safest and most vibrant cities globally that I now call home.”
