To accelerate the next phase of its exceptional growth, the Emirates Group has launched a global talent acquisition and recruitment drive. During this financial year, the aviation giant aims to add 17,300 new team members across 350 different positions — a number equivalent to the population of a mid-sized town or the total seating capacity of 58 Airbus A350 aircraft.

These roles span across all departments, functions, and operations of Emirates — the world’s largest and most profitable international airline — as well as dnata, a global leader in air and travel services. There is a strong demand for new talent in cabin crew, pilots, engineers, commercial and sales teams, customer service, ground operations, catering, IT, HR, and finance. dnata alone plans to recruit over 4,000 specialists in cargo, catering, and ground handling services.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, stated: “Emirates Group’s human resources strategy is aligned with Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda and our own ambitious growth and expansion plans. We are seeking talented professionals from around the world to help us bring our bold vision to life, redefine the future of aviation, and uphold our commitment to innovation and excellence. This is a unique opportunity for skilled individuals to play a key role in our strategy and growth journey.”

Throughout the year, Emirates Group will host over 2,100 career days and recruitment events in more than 150 cities to attract top talent for critical roles like pilots, IT specialists, engineers, and cabin crew.
