Emirates, a global connector of people, places and economies, will be holding a pilot roadshow to recruit experienced and technically proficient commercial pilots in South Africa to fly its growing network of international routes.
The roadshow offers a great opportunity for interested pilots to learn more about the recruitment process, and talk to Emirates’ staff about the benefits of being an Emirates pilot, living and working in Dubai.
Details of the roadshows
The pilot roadshow sessions will be held in Johannesburg & Cape Town.
- The sessions in Johannesburg will be held at the DaVinci Hotel and Suites on Nelson Mandela Square on the 4th April at 10am and 2pm, and on the 5th at 10am at the same venue.
- The second roadshow will take place at the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice by Marriott Cape Town in Cape Town on April 6th at 10:00am and 2pm, with another session on the 7th at 10am at the same venue.
Pilots only need to attend one of the sessions and prior registration is not required to participate. Interested candidates should arrive at the venue on time to attend the information session.
In addition to passenger aircraft, Emirates now offers pilots the option to join the airline’s dedicated Boeing 777 freighter pilot team. The freighter pilot contract offers a unique opportunity for pilots with a new 28 days on, 13 days off roster pattern.
