Role overview

Emirates is looking for confident, adaptable cabin crew members who can represent the airline with warmth and professionalism. In this role, you will be the main point of contact for customers during their journey, helping them with guidance, service, and reassurance throughout the flight.

The position goes beyond hospitality. Safety is the top priority, so you will be expected to manage onboard service, security, and safety procedures calmly and decisively. Training is delivered through a world-class learning environment in Dubai.

What the role involves

You will deliver attentive passenger service, support travellers from different cultures, and maintain a high standard of care on every flight. The job also requires you to respond confidently in safety-related situations and to operate effectively in a demanding, fast-paced environment.

Visible tattoos are not permitted while wearing the Emirates cabin crew uniform unless they are fully covered with bandages or cosmetics. Successful candidates will be based in Dubai and must satisfy UAE employment visa requirements.

Working style and expectations

Candidates should be consistently high-performing, solution-focused, culturally aware, and able to handle a demanding schedule. The airline is seeking people who can create an authentic customer experience while reflecting a professional, empathetic, progressive, visionary, and cosmopolitan brand personality.

The basic salary is AED 4,980 per month. Flying pay is AED 69.60 per hour, based on an average of 80 to 100 flying hours each month. The average total monthly pay is AED 11,244, which is approximately USD 3,100, EUR 2,600, or GBP 2,280 for Grade II Economy Class roles.
