Emirates recruiting PHL aircraft maintainers

EMIRATES GROUP, the Dubai-based airline, said it is recruiting aircraft engineers and technicians in the Philippines.

“Our engineers enjoy a rewarding career in Dubai, working on the world’s largest fleet of widebody aircraft as part of a dynamic, multicultural team of talented professionals… We are building a future-ready workforce capable of supporting our global operations with precision and excellence,” Emirates Philippine Country Manager Saeed Abdulla Miran said in a statement.

Emirates said it is looking to hire about 750 aircraft maintainers globally.

The airline is organizing a recruitment roadshow in Manila on Oct. 14-15, it said.

“The recruitment initiative taps into the Philippines’ strong and growing aviation talent pool,” it said.

Emirates started serving the Philippines in 1990. It offers 28 weekly flights, or about 22,700 weekly seats, between the Philippines and Dubai. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
