Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways will recruit up to 2,000 pilots, cabin crew and mechanics this year as it prepares for expansion in 2025 when the airline plans to add 15 more planes to its fleet.
CEO of Etihad Airways Antonoaldo Neves said: "We're going to be hiring about 1,500 to 2,000 people this year to prepare for 2025,"
"In 2025, we are getting 15 more planes. And I need pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants for those planes. So, the second half of this year is going to be all about training pilots and flight attendants for 2025." Etihad will boost the number of flights, frequencies, and destinations as it seeks to capitalise on the positive momentum seen in passenger traffic last year. The airline's passenger load factor rose to 86 per cent in 2023, up from 82 per cent in 2022.
As per Khaleej Times, on Wednesday, Etihad announced its results for 2023, recording a total revenue of Dh20.3 billion, a net profit of Dh525 million, and Dh1.4 billion operating result, driven by Dh4 billion year-on-year growth in passenger revenue.
