Emirates’ cabin crew team recently crossed a milestone and are now 20,000-strong, as the airline continues to recruit cabin crew globally to meet its planned growth trajectory. Since 2022, the airline has hosted recruitment events in 340 cities across six continents.
Many crew have long been a part of Emirates’ growth story with over 4,000 crew serving between 5–9 years; close to 3,000 serving between 10–14 years; over 1,500 crew serving 15–19 years; and some 400 crew members having crossed the milestone of 20 years of service. Three crew members have been with the airline for more than 30 years.
Career progression opportunities for cabin crew include upgrading to a higher cabin, becoming a cabin supervisor, trainer or purser. Today the airline has over 1,100 pursers who have moved through the ranks from junior cabin crew after successfully completing rigorous training and assessments.
Cabin crew also have access to the latest training programmes, LinkedIn courses and the opportunity to apply for internal vacancies throughout the Emirates Group.
Revving up for its next growth phase, the airline will host global recruitment events covering hundreds of cities all year round.
All new cabin crew undergo an intense eight weeks of training in the high standards of hospitality, safety and service delivery in Emirates' facility in Dubai.
