Emirates is actively seeking to expand its team of pilots by hosting recruitment events in three major Australian cities next week. The airline already employs around 200 Australian pilots and aims to increase this number due to growing demand for air travel. The recruitment drive will take place in Perth from December 2-3, Sydney from December 5-6, and Brisbane from December 8-9.
The airline has introduced significant changes to its pilot recruitment process, offering higher salaries, new roles, and revised eligibility criteria. These changes are part of Emirates' strategy to attract experienced commercial pilots for its Airbus and Boeing widebody aircraft.
Four specific roles are open for application: Direct Entry Captains, Accelerated Command Program participants, First Officers Type Rated, and First Officers Non-Type Rated. Barry Brown, Emirates' Divisional Vice President, highlighted the benefits of joining the airline: "Emirates' pilots fly one of the world's youngest and most modern all widebody fleet to over 148 destinations across the globe. They will have the opportunity to undergo robust in-house training at Emirates' cutting-edge training facility and will also be based in the vibrant city of Dubai."
