Job seekers, you may want to consider taking your career to new heights. As the largest airline in the world, Emirates is seeking confident travel enthusiasts to join its global cabin crew, and an in-person hiring event will take place in Vancouver this month.

Whether it’s waking up in Milan, dining in Singapore, or lounging on a Dubai layover, a cabin crew career with Emirates unlocks more than just a window seat. With tax-free income, paid accommodation in Dubai, and world-class training, it’s an ideal path for those looking to launch their career in the industry.

What are the requirements?

In addition to being a team player and a confident individual, Emirates is looking for people who are fluent in written and spoken English, with additional languages considered an advantage.

To be a part of the cabin crew, you must also be at least 160 cm tall and able to reach 212 cm high, according to their website.

You’ll also need to meet the UAE’s employment visa requirements upon applying, and be 21 years old or older. Emirates is looking for those with at least one year of hospitality or customer service experience, a minimum of high school (Grade 12) education, and someone with no visible tattoos while in uniform.

What are the benefits and perks?

In addition to a wide range of competitive pay and benefits across its roles, Emirates offers employees a tax-free salary (and no income tax in the UAE), paid accommodation in Dubai, world-class training, comprehensive medical coverage, global lifestyle benefits, and exclusive travel perks for employees and their families.

Emirates also offers fast-tracked promotions and leadership opportunities across industries, including aviation, travel, air services, and catering.

Ready to hit apply? Those interested are encouraged to pre-register for the Vancouver event. While walk-ins are accepted at Open Day events, it never hurts to make the application process a little smoother on your end.

The Cabin Crew Open Day will take place at The Hilton Metrotown on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, at 9 a.m.
