Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is hiring cabin crew to fly from its Abu Dhabi base. Crew members look after guest safety and service on flights to more than 100 destinations and work in multicultural teams. Etihad sets out a clear progression path: Economy to Business Class from 12 months, Business Class to Cabin Senior from 12 months, and Cabin Senior to Cabin Manager from 24 months, depending on performance and business needs. Pay: Etihad states that crew can earn up to AED 10,000 a month tax-free, and that this figure includes extra pay for flight hours and layovers, so actual monthly pay depends on your roster. Recruitment events: Etihad lists an in-person recruitment event in Abu Dhabi on 1 November 2026, followed by events in Bangkok (12 Nov), Bali (24 Nov), Porto (8 Dec) and Lisbon (10 Dec). You can also apply online without attending. Practical notes: the 163 cm height minimum and the no-visible-tattoos rule are firm requirements, so check them before applying. Bring copies of your CV, passport and school certificate to any open day. Apply only through the official apply link on this page. Genuine employers do not ask for money at any stage of hiring; if anyone does, treat it as fraud.
