Etihad Airways continues to welcome applications through its official careers platform for professional opportunities based in Abu Dhabi. Its recruitment website highlights cabin crew opportunities, pilot career pathways and additional career areas covering engineering, operations and corporate functions.

The airline is accepting online applications for its international cabin crew recruitment process, seeking candidates with strong customer service skills, effective communication abilities and a commitment to passenger safety. Applicants should also be comfortable working in multicultural teams and adapting to changing schedules.

Key cabin crew requirements include a minimum age of 21, a minimum height of 163 centimetres, completion of high school or an equivalent qualification, and fluency in spoken and written English. Candidates must also meet the airline’s professional presentation and operational requirements.

Etihad has published upcoming cabin crew recruitment events in Belgrade on October 27, Sarajevo on October 29, Vienna on November 1, Brussels on November 3, Amman on November 12 and Abu Dhabi on November 26, 2026. Candidates should review the registration arrangements and eligibility requirements for each event before applying.

For experienced pilots, the airline maintains a dedicated careers pathway and has announced recruitment engagement events in Barcelona and Hong Kong during October, followed by a virtual event on November 17 and a Kuala Lumpur event on November 24. Individual flying positions may require different licences, aircraft qualifications and levels of experience.

The company’s careers website also provides information about engineering, operations and corporate career areas. Certain development programmes are reserved for UAE nationals, including the national cadet pilot pathway, making it essential for international applicants to check the eligibility criteria for each opportunity.

Etihad advises candidates to use its official recruitment channels and remain alert to fraudulent employment offers. The airline states that it does not request recruitment payments, while its selection process may involve application reviews, assessments and interviews.
