Emirates to hire 4,000 cabin crew in the 2011/12

Emirates is currently in full recruitment mode across all six continents where it flies, looking to hire 4,000 cabin crew in the 2011/12 financial year.

At this week’s ITB in Berlin, which runs from 9th-13th March, Emirates will continue its recruitment push as it seeks German-speaking cabin crew to join the growing Emirates ' team.

Emirates ' cabin crew is comprised of 131 nationalities, speaking more than 80 different languages. Currently, the airline has 152 aircraft in its fleet, including 15 A380s. A further 200 planes are on order, 75 of which are the superjumbos. Since being introduced into the Emirates ' fleet in July 2008, more than 4 million passengers have experienced the super-quiet double decker. The airline's 15 A380 aircraft are supported by nearly 300 pilots and more than 2,000 cabin crew.

The number of Emirates ' cabin crew has, for the first time, risen to over 12,000 as the airline positions itself for continuing steady growth.

Carrying approximately 85,000 passengers each day throughout the 2010/11 financial year, Emirates now flies to 111 destinations in 66 countries. Three new passenger destinations have been announced so far this year; Basra in Iraq, which launched 2nd February, Geneva, starting 1st June and Copenhagen, beginning 1st August.
