The UK remains a key recruitment region for Emirates, with the airline successfully onboarding British Cabin Crew in 2022.

All Emirates crew are based in Dubai and enjoy an attractive employment package including a tax-free salary and concessional travel benefits across Emirates’ extensive, six-continent network for themselves, as well as friends and family.

The airline offers candidates outstanding career opportunities, with excellent training facilities and a broad range of development programmes for its employees. Other benefits include free company-provided accommodation, free transport to and from work, excellent medical cover as well as exclusive discounts on shopping and leisure activities in Dubai.

The airline is the largest global operator of the Boeing 777 and the iconic Airbus A380 aircraft.

Richard Jewsbury, Emirates Divisional Vice President in the UK, commented: “Demand for Emirates’ world-class service and expanding global network has continued to grow and finding the best crew from the UK is a key priority. We’re looking for people from a range of backgrounds and sectors with transferable skills like multitasking, communication, interpersonal skills and problem-solving. If you want to travel the world earning a tax-free salary with some incredible benefits, open days give you the chance to meet our colleagues and kick off a sky-high career.”
