Setting the standard

Providing the ‘world’s best in-flight experience’

At Emirates, we’re committed to providing you with an unparalleled journey through our highly trained, professional cabin crew. New recruits undergo an intense seven and a half weeks of training in the highest standards of safety and service delivery in our state-of-the-art facility in Dubai.

The training covers both theoretical and practical aspects, with the latter taking place in full motion simulators of all of the aircrafts in our fleet.

And our ongoing training for all cabin crew members ensures you always receive unrivalled care on board.

Adding diversity to the air

Sharing a love of adventure

A cosmopolitan mix of young professionals from over 130 nationalities, our cabin crew speak over 70 languages and bring their diverse backgrounds to the skies – many were doctors, lawyers, artists or sports people in their previous lives.

The team welcoming you on board share your love of travel and are always ready to enrich your inflight experience. As the face of our brand, they tirelessly exceed your expectations on 420 flights daily across more than 135 destinations.

Caring for our community with Dior
We’ve partnered with Dior to provide our crew with training and beauty and wellness support from one of the best cosmetic and skincare brands in the world
  • Getting the look right

    We’ve set hair, makeup, skincare, nail care and uniform standards that ensure our cabin crew look their best while providing customers with a memorable inflight experience.

    New recruits undergo an image and uniform training programme using premium Dior skincare and makeup products. And we also provide ongoing support for our team’s image through the Emirates Beauty Hub.

  • The Emirates Beauty Hub

    While our team provides award-winning hospitality on board, we provide them with the health, wellness and beauty support they need while on the ground. Located in our Headquarters in Dubai, the Emirates Beauty Hub is a dedicated space for them to get advice from the experts on fitness, nutrition, hair, skincare and makeup.

    Many of our consultants were Emirates cabin crew themselves, and understand well the challenges our team face from day to day. Our consultants are trained by our Beauty Hub partner Christian Dior and have experience across a diverse range of ages, skin types and backgrounds.

Our pilots reach new heights

Flying nearly 300 aircraft to over 135 destinations

We only hire experienced pilots, and we employ over 400 experts who conduct initial training to ensure they meet the exact standards demanded by both Emirates and aviation regulators.

Ground school includes computer-based training, e-learning and aircraft technical classroom sessions. Emirates pilots also complete full flight simulator training for the specific aircraft they’re going to fly, so they’re fully prepared. The last stage is line flying under the supervision of an experienced trainer. The course takes around three months to complete, and we conduct recurring training for more than 4,000 pilots — it’s a regulatory requirement for each pilot every six months.
