Emirates will hold career days in Athens, Thessaloniki, and Corfu throughout August as part of its global search for new talent across 350 different roles.
The Emirates Group is launching a worldwide talent acquisition campaign to support the next phase of its growth. For the current fiscal year, the Group plans to expand its workforce with 17,300 new professionals, a number equivalent to the population of a medium-sized city—or the capacity of 58 Airbus A350 aircraft.
The available positions span a wide range of specialties and functions across Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, and dnata, a global provider of air services and travel. Roles include cabin crew, pilots, engineers, sales and commercial executives, customer service, ground handling, catering, IT, HR, and finance. dnata alone aims to hire over 4,000 employees in cargo, catering, and ground services.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline & Group, stated:
“Our human capital strategy aligns with Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda and the Group’s growth goals. We are seeking top professionals from around the world who will support our ambitious vision, help redefine the future of aviation, and strengthen our culture of innovation and excellence. This is a significant opportunity for skilled individuals to be part of our strategic expansion.”
Throughout the year, Emirates Group will organize more than 2,100 events in 150 cities worldwide, targeting specialized professionals such as pilots, engineers, IT experts, and cabin crew.
In Greece, the following career events will take place:
August 27, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at Divani Caravel Hotel, Athens
August 29, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at Monasty Hotel, Thessaloniki

Since 2022, the Group has recruited over 41,000 skilled professionals, including 27,000 in critical operational roles. The current global workforce stands at 121,000 employees.
Emirates has long been recognized as an employer of choice, both in the UAE and globally. In the past financial year alone, the Group received over 3.7 million applications across its brands and divisions. Candidates are drawn to its strong brand, international reputation, human-centered culture, tax-free salaries, attractive benefits, and well-established training and development programs.
