Etihad Airways has set out a long-term growth plan that includes recruiting in the region of 7,000 additional employees by 2035, covering flight crew, engineering, ground operations and commercial roles.
The announcement lands in a market where airlines, airports and hospitality groups across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are all scaling at once.
- Recruitment spans crew, engineering, ground handling and commercial functions
- Hiring is spread across a ten-year expansion programme
- Regional carriers are competing for the same technical talent pools
Employers outside aviation feel this too. Cabin crew, guest-experience and technical maintenance candidates are being courted heavily, which pushes up expectations on pay, rostering and accommodation across adjacent sectors.
고용주에게 미치는 영향
- Expect longer notice periods from candidates in aviation-adjacent roles.
- Benchmark pay for technical and customer-facing staff at least twice a year.
- Shorten your own offer-to-acceptance window in competitive categories.
