Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has launched a major recruitment drive in Australia as it seeks talented hospitality professionals to join its world’s leading airline cabin crew.

Australian nationals, interested in joining the airline’s award-winning team of cabin crew, food and beverage managers, and qualified in-flight chefs, should apply online at www.careers.etihadairways.com, ahead of the scheduled recruitment days.

The recruitment days will take place in Sydney on Monday, 10 February and Melbourne on Wednesday, 12 February.

Aubrey Tiedt, Etihad Airways’ Vice President Guest Services, said: “To support the rapid, dynamic expansion of Etihad Airways, we are delighted to host our recruitment drive in Australia, a key market for the airline.

“We hope to attract individuals with a great passion for guest service and hospitality to join our multinational and multicultural cabin crew team.

“We are proud to have the world’s leading airline cabin crew within our team, who are the face of our brand, and work in a range of roles including flight attendants, in-flight chefs and food and beverage managers.”

Once selected and invited to attend a recruitment day, applicants will meet members of the Etihad Airways recruitment team who will provide comprehensive information about living in Abu Dhabi and the dynamics of working with guests at 30,000 feet.

Successful applicants undergo a seven-week safety and service training program conducted at Etihad Airways’ state-of-the-art Training Academy in Abu Dhabi.

Nearly 350 Australian nationals currently work for Etihad Airways, including 52 pilots and 83 cabin crew.

Cabin crew are all based in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Staff enjoy many benefits including medical insurance and housing support, in addition to access to a wealth of world-class leisure, sports and entertainment activities.

Etihad Airways currently flies double daily to Sydney in conjunction with the airline’s partner, Virgin Australia, and daily to Brisbane and Melbourne. Direct flights from Abu Dhabi to Perth, Western Australia, will commence from 15 July 2014.

Etihad Airways won the prestigious titles of World’s Leading Airline, World’s Leading First Class, and World’s Leading Airline Cabin Crew at the World Travel Awards held in November 2013 in Doha, Qatar.
