Fresh hiring push focuses on technicians and engineers for positions in Dubai and international locations.
Emirates has launched a major recruitment drive for its engineering division, with in-person hiring events scheduled across multiple countries in July and August 2026, alongside a broader global push for aviation talent.
The Emirates Group recently reported record results for FY2025–26, rewarding employees with a 20-week salary bonus after achieving historic highs in profit, revenue, and cash reserves.
The group reported a profit before tax of Dh24.4 billion, revenue of Dh150.5 billion, and cash assets of Dh59.6 billion, despite geopolitical tensions impacting the aviation sector.
