ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Etihad Airways, the UAE’s national airline, announced plans to recruit hundreds of pilots this year to support its expanding fleet and network. This move aligns with the airline’s ambitious growth plans and its mission to “give flight to ambition”.
The recruitment drive will kick off with an international roadshow, starting in eight cities across Europe before expanding to other global locations. Etihad aims to meet pilots who are interested in joining the rapidly growing airline.
In addition to pilots, Etihad welcomes the partners and family members of prospective pilots to attend the roadshows. The airline will showcase Abu Dhabi as an attractive destination for living and building a career, highlighting its benefits for both individuals and families.
John Wright, Chief Operations and Guest Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “As we embark on this pilot recruitment roadshow, we’re proud to showcase everything that both Etihad and Abu Dhabi have to offer, and we are seeking pilots who share in our ambitions.”
Etihad is seeking pilots of all ranks and aircraft types from across the Etihad fleet including the Airbus A320, A350 and A380 as well as the Boeing 777 and 787, and Boeing 777 freighters.
Pilots who do not yet fulfil the Etihad criteria but may wish to join Etihad in the future are also encouraged to attend the roadshow or register their interest online.
