A tax-free salary and a monthly housing allowance come as part of the package.
Emirates, one of the largest airlines in the world, is searching for the “finest male and female pilots” in Ireland as part of a recruitment roadshow that will be landing in Dublin next week.
Three roadshows will take place over two days at the Hilton Dublin Airport hotel, where Emirates will offer pilots the opportunity to live in Dubai while flying both passenger and freighter aircraft on the airline’s network of international routes.
Personal benefits for those who get the job include a generous tax-free salary, monthly housing allowance, 42 days annual leave and chauffeur-driven transport to and from work.
The roadshows will allow interested pilots to learn more about the recruitment process and to talk to Emirates’ staff about what it’s like to live in Dubai and work for the airline. Partners and families of interested applicants are also welcome to attend.
Mandy Kelly, aviation HR Specialist with Emirates and originally from Dublin, will attend the roadshows to help answer questions and is encouraging both women and men to come along to explore the opportunities on offer.
“Dubai has so much to offer and there is always something to do from its unique leisure and cultural attractions to restaurants from around the world and amazing beaches,” Kelly said.
“It’s a wonderful city for families, having lived here for 17 years and with two young sons I can honestly say it has so much to offer everybody.
“We have both male and female pilots, including those from Ireland currently flying with us and are looking to grow our team. When flying for Emirates, you will be based in the heart of Dubai and will start your career on board one of the world’s most modern fleets, on the industry-leading Boeing 777 or the flagship Airbus A380.
“We’re encouraging pilots to come along for a chat with our recruitment team in Dublin and we’d be delighted to answer any questions. Partners and children are also very welcome as we completely understand a move to Dubai is something that involves the whole family.”
The roadshows take place at Hilton Dublin Airport, Malahide Road, Northern Cross, Dublin on Tuesday, 10 April at 10am and 2pm and on Wednesday, 11 April at 10am.
Pilots only need to attend one of the sessions and pre-registration is not required.
Interested pilots who are unable to attend the roadshow can also make an online application at www.emirates.com/pilots.
