Emirates may hire pilots from Etihad, other carriers

Dubai – Mubasher: ​Dubai government-owned carrier Emirates is reportedly seeking to hire pilots from other airlines including Etihad Airways, Norwegian Air Shuttle, and Hong Kong Airlines.

Facing hiring challenge, Emirates, the world’s largest airline by international passengers, is trying to recruit new staff in a bid to keep pace with its expanding strategy.  

“The current situation with several airlines in financial difficulty globally leaves Emirates in a good position to be sourcing and selecting good-quality pilots,” Bloomberg News reported, citing an internal memo from Emirates.

Both Etihad and Emirates declined to comment on the matter.
