flydubai's ongoing recruitment drive

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 16 July 2024: from its home in Dubai, flydubai has built a network of more than 125 destinations across 58 countries served by a young and efficient fleet of 88 Boeing 737 aircraft. The carrier will take delivery of seven aircraft before the end of 2024 which will further support its ongoing network expansion as it adds Basel, Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius.

To support the carrier's growth trajectory, there is an ongoing recruitment drive to add more talented professionals to its workforce and this includes pilots, cabin crew, engineers as well as various positions across the business. Today, flydubai has grown its workforce to more than 5,800 skilled professionals representing 140 nationalities, more than 1,200 of whom are pilots. It is on track to hire more than 130 new pilots by the end of this year. Since the beginning of 2024, flydubai has hired more than 440 new colleagues, an increase of six per cent since last year.

Dubai remains one of the most attractive destinations to live and work in and this has enabled flydubai to attract many talented professionals from around the world. flydubai uses multiple channels to recruit its pilots, the majority of whom are direct hires as well as candidates that are recruited via roadshows and third-party agencies.

UAE national professionals

flydubai continues to attract more UAE Nationals and over the past two years, it has attracted more young Emirati talent as part of its commitment to recruiting talented professionals and placing them in appropriate roles and positions across the organisation.

flydubai is also committed to encouraging career development among young UAE nationals, offering apprenticeship opportunities in various departments including Engineering. It offers special programmes for both UAE national pilots and employees in other departments across the business to support future growth opportunities.

flydubai placed its first-ever wide-body order for 30 Boeing 787-9s at the Dubai Airshow in 2023, a momentous occasion in the history of the airline. flydubai also announced its plan for establishing new maintenance and training facilities which will see greater efficiencies reflecting on its bottom line, a sign of the airline’s maturity. The ongoing recruitment campaigns will support these ambitious plans in the future and reaffirm Dubai’s position as a global aviation hub.
