Emirates Continues To Recruit Crews From Ethiopia
Posted in Cabin Crew News, Emirates Airline • 3 commentsEmirates Airline recruited nine cabin crewmembers on December 1, 2008 from Ethiopia and will conduct its next recruitment in Addis Abeba in February 2009.
Emirates have been making several regular cabin crew recruitments since it started service to Addis Abeba in March 2006. Out of the total 160 applicants in November 2008 at the Hilton Addis, only nine of them passed the selection process on the final day.
The new recruits will have six weeks intensive training at the Emirates Aviation College in Dubai in facilities including emergency training simulators and full-scale aircrafts mock-ups.
Currently, there are 54 Ethiopian cabin crewmembers already working with Emirates. With the additional nine, the number of Ethiopians at the Gulf state’s airline will go up to 63. Emirates recruited globally; 10,000 cabin crew from 120 countries, particularly in areas on passenger route network.
“Emirates cabin crews have the opportunity to visit over 100 destinations around the world and experience some of the world’s most advanced aircrafts,” Sudhir Sreedharan, Emirates’ area manager for Ethiopia said. “Our recruitment drives also give us an opportunity to contribute and give back to the countries we fly to.”
Emirates Airline is among the world’s fastest growing airlines with 400 international awards in recognition of its efforts to provide superior customer service.
Emirates first started its flight to Addis Abeba as an extension of its route to Entebbe. Within a six-month period, it has extended its frequency from three times a week to daily flights.
Launched in 1985, the airline now flies to more than 100 destinations globally; in Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, Asia, Australia and North America. Of the 100 destinations, 15 are in Africa.
