The Abu Dhabi,UAE-based carrier announced the pilot recruitment campaign as it seeks pilots of all ranks to operate all types of aircraft on the Etihad fleet – including the Airbus A320, A350, and A380, and Boeing 777, 787, and 777 Freighter – as it expects to double its fleet size by 2030 compared to 2022.


According to Etihad, prospective pilots are invited to register their interest by attending one of the roadshows or signing up on the career page on the airline's website. The recruitment campaign will start in eight countries in Europe - Cyprus, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, Hungary, Poland and Lithuania – before expanding globally in the next few months.


“As we embark on this pilot recruitment roadshow, we’re proud to showcase everything that both Etihad and Abu Dhabi have to offer, and we are seeking pilots who share in our ambitions,” said John Wright, Chief Operations and Guest Officer, Etihad. “We appreciate that pilots choose which airline to join for the length of their career, and as such we would like to highlight not only the career development and progression opportunities on offer at Etihad, but also the fantastic home and lifestyle that Abu Dhabi provides.”


As Etihad continues to grow its network that now spans more than 70 destinations worldwide, the airline noted its pilots based at Abu Dhabi represent 142 nationalities.
