Emirates plans to recruit 1,500 new pilots within the next two years as it enters its next era of growth and global expansion.
On World Pilots’ Day, the Dubai-based carrier highlighted ambitious recruitment plans, including 550 aviators this year alone.
The airline is riding on the success of its Accelerated Command programme which fast-tracks First Officers to the role of Captain, with more than 80 pilots well on their way to achieving this command upgrade.
