Emirates hiring: How much do pilots earn in Dubai? Airline reveals salary and benefits

Dreaming of flying one of the world’s largest international airline networks? Emirates is giving experienced pilots a closer look at life on its flight deck with a global recruitment roadshow spanning Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

The Dubai-based airline’s recruitment team will meet commercial pilots at events designed to showcase career opportunities, training pathways, salary packages, benefits and what it is like to live and work in the UAE.

The campaign begins in Madrid, Spain, on August 6 and will travel to major aviation hubs including Lisbon, Seoul, London, Milan, Rome, Mexico City, São Paulo, Johannesburg and Amsterdam.

Pilots attending the sessions will have the opportunity to meet Emirates recruiters, ask questions and learn more about building a long-term aviation career with the airline.

For many pilots, joining Emirates also means relocating to Dubai — a key part of the airline’s recruitment message.

The airline says pilots can combine long-haul flying with opportunities to explore destinations across its global network, while enjoying benefits designed for employees and their families.

Emirates pilots receive travel benefits, chauffeur-driven airport transfers in Dubai and access to a network covering more than 140 destinations.

The airline offers a tax-free remuneration package covering salary, accommodation, education support, healthcare, travel benefits and retirement contributions.
