Emirates Airline Creating 1,000 New Cabin Crew Jobs In London

Emirates, the United Arab Emirates airline, is creating 1,000 new cabin crew jobs for applicants in London.

The world’s biggest international airline is hosting Cabin Crew Recruitment open days at Gatwick airport and in Paddington to find hundreds of new staff.

The London open days will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 17th April 2024, and the following day.

The Dubai-based airline already employs over 21,000 members of staff as part of its cabin crew team but is looking to expand by a further 5,000 new recruits worldwide this year.

The recruitment drive will increase Emirates’ cabin crew headcount by more than a quarter, after already hiring a further 8,000 new staff last year.

The company says that it is interested in applications from new graduates who have done internships or worked in part time jobs, as well as people from a customer service or hospitality background.

If you manage to land a role as an Emirates’ cabin crew team member, you could be based in Dubai and look forward to visiting over 70 countries and almost 150 cities around the world.

Offering some insight as to what working as a cabin crew member for Emirates might be like, Robyn Clark who joined the team early last year, 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.”

Ane Monego Castagna, who started working for Emirates last May, also commented, saying: “Sometimes you’ve got to chase your dreams, other times the dream chases you. In April last year, I received the ‘golden call’ that changed my life. During training, I was amazed by the knowledge and skills imparted to us and what it took to become an Emirates cabin crew.”

“The opportunity to make friends for life, be super confident and to fly with the airline is priceless. Thanks to Emirates, the life I live today is better than anything I have ever dreamed of!”
