Dubai-based Emirates airline is hoping to recruit 6,000 new cabin crew members this month.
In a statement on Tuesday, the airline said its hiring team is making stops in 30 cities worldwide to recruit new cabin crew members over the next six weeks.
Destinations covered in the recruitment drive, which will end in June, include cities in Australia, the UK, and Europe, as well as Cairo, Algiers, Tunis, and Bahrain.
The average starting salary is 9,770 dirhams per month and the airline is presently training about 120 new recruits each week at Emirates Aviation College, an Emirates spokesperson said.
Emirates revealed that it has received more than 300,000 applications for cabin crew jobs since launching its first post-Covid-19-pandemic recruitment drive in August when it announced plans to hire 3,000 cabin crew and 500 airport services, employees.
Last October, the airline said it would recruit more than 6,000 staff – including pilots, cabin crew, engineering specialists, and ground staff – over the coming six months to boost its workforce as travel demand rebounded.
