UAE jobs: Dubai’s Emirates announces plans to hire pilots with higher salaries

Dubai: Dubai’s flagship carrier Emirates, on Tuesday, announced significant changes to its recruitment policies of pilots. This includes higher salaries, new roles, and ‘a radical change to eligibility’, the airline said in a statement issued on World Pilots’ Day.

“Pilots at the airline receive a competitive tax-free salary, are eligible for profit share, and are provided spacious villas in gated communities, education allowance, and excellent life, medical and dental cover,” said Emirates. “They also have access to a world-class provident fund and receive regular and complimentary financial advice,” the statement added.

The airline said it is revving up its pilot recruitment drive as it prepares to start taking delivery of its 65 A350s on order from mid-year and its mix of 205 777-9s and 777-8s in 2025. Emirates said its recruitment team will host roadshows in more than 26 cities in over 18 countries this year.

“The changes to eligibility criteria and salary packages represent a step forward in its commitment to attracting the best talent globally and ensuring a perfect customer experience on every single journey,” an airline spokesperson said.
