Etihad
Airways has embarked on a major recruitment drive to hire additional crew, as
it fleet expands. The UAE’s national carrier said it is looking for pilots in
Europe to join both its Airbus and Boeing fleets, with new aircraft expected to
arrive b
Recruiters
for the airline were scheduled to be in Europe on Sunday, November 13. They
started in Romania and were expected to be in Bulgaria today, Tuesday. They
will then make stops in Hungary, Lithuania, Greece, Poland, Belgium and
Portugal.
Etihad
had earlier announced it would freeze the hiring of non-operational staff, as
currency fluctuations, economic uncertainty and market competition are putting
pressure on yields. Recruitment of pilots, cabin crew and engineers, however,
will continue. The airline has a range of aircraft including Airbus 330s, 380s,
Boeing 777s and B787s, and expects new A380 deliveries next year.
“2017
will see further additions to our fleet as we continue our growth. We are
seeking to recruit highly motivated, skilled and qualified pilots to come and
join our team,” said Richard Hill, chief operations officer for Etihad Airways.
Between 2016 and 2025, Etihad is expected to expand its current fleet of 123 to
179 aircraft, presenting more employment opportunities for aviation
professionals. In 2016 alone, ten aircraft were added to the fleet.
“It
is exciting to be joining an airline that is growing rapidly and while we will
recruit experienced pilots, we also put great focus on continued training and
excellence in operational standards. This significant growth also creates
opportunities for our existing pilots,” said Hill.
