EMIRATES FLIGHT DECK CREW


Background on Emirates Flight Operations

At the Dubai Airshow in November 2007 Emirates announced a historic civil aviation aircraft order when it signed contracts for a 120 Airbus A350s, 11 A380s, and 12 Boeing 777-300ERs, worth an estimated US$34.9 billion in list prices. The agreement with Airbus comprises firm orders for 50 A350-900s and 20 A350-1000s, plus 50 options for the A350-900s. The first A350 will be delivered to Emirates in 2014.

This also brings Emirates' total firm order for the A380s to 58.

With the latest order for 12 777-300ERs, valued at US$3.2 billion, Emirates now has 53 Boeing 777s pending delivery and is set to become the world’s largest 777 operator in the next few years.

Emirates’ total order book now stands at over 240 aircraft, all wide body, and worth more than $60 billion US dollars.

Emirates provides state-of-the-art in-house training facilities. The Emirates-CAE Flight Training Centre is a three storey, 14 bay facility, which currently houses nine full flight Simulators, including Boeing 777 and Airbus 330/340 devices. Emirates has recently signed an agreement for the supply of CAE Simfinity three-dimensional flight training devices, comprising an Airbus A380 maintenance/flight training device and a Boeing 777-300ER integrated procedures trainer.

Emirates employs highly skilled Flight Deck Crew from around the world. We offer an exceptional opportunity for ambitious pilots to develop their career on one of the youngest high-tech fleets, with one of the fastest growing and most profitable airlines in the world.
