Etihad Airways is launching a global hunt for “hundreds” of pilots as concerns over a shortage of air crew continue to bite.
The airline will now hold seven roadshows in Cyprus, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, Hungary, Poland and Lithuania in June and July, with plans to go on tour globally in the following months.
The worldwide hunt comes as Etihad prepares to double its 2022 fleet size by 2030 and the airline is looking for pilots of all ranks and aircraft types to work on its fleet with aircraft including the Airbus A320, A350 and A380 as well as the Boeing 777 and 787, and Boeing 777 freighters.
It also encouraged pilots who are still waiting for the relevant qualifications to attend the events or register their interest online at careers.etihad.com.
Etihad Airways chief operations and guest officer John Wright said: “As we embark on this pilot recruitment roadshow, we’re proud to showcase everything that both Etihad and Abu Dhabi have to offer, and we are seeking pilots who share in our ambitions.
“We appreciate that pilots choose which airline to join for the length of their career, and as such we would like to highlight not only the career development and progression opportunities on offer at Etihad, but also the fantastic home and lifestyle that Abu Dhabi provides.”
