DUBAI, 16th September, 2021 - To support its planned ramp-up operations, Emirates has begun a worldwide campaign to recruit 3,000 cabin crew and 500 airport services employees to join its Dubai hub over the next six months. These roles are Dubai-based positions and frontline customer-facing roles, and both jobs offer exciting opportunit­ies for friendly, energetic, and serviceori­ented people to meet and interact with the world as Emirates’ brand ambassador­s. Candidates interested in joining Emirates as cabin crew or as an airport services agent can find out more about the job requiremen­ts and submit their applicatio­n on www.emiratesgr­oupcareers.com. Emirates has gradually restored its network operations in line with the easing of travel restrictio­ns around the world, and over the past months, it has been recalling pilots, cabin crew and other operationa­l employees who were stood down when the pandemic forced a drastic reduction in flights last year, the company said on Thursday. The airline currently flies to over 120 cities, representi­ng 90% of its prepandemi­c network, and it plans to restore 70% of its capacity by the end of the year, including bringing back more of its iconic A380 aircraft into active service. One of the most dynamic global cities, Dubai has also led the world in its response to the pandemic thanks to its strong leadership and public-private sector cooperatio­n. The rapid vaccinatio­n roll-out in the United Arab Emirates, and clear pandemic protocols have enabled Dubai to quickly and safely re-open to internatio­nal tourism and business activities since July 2020. Dubai continues to attract people from all over the world with its welcoming culture, tax-free environmen­t, and leading infrastruc­ture for living, working and recreation.
