Emirates to hold major cabin crew recruitment day in Newcastle - what airline is looking for including tattoo rules and height restrictions

Dubai-based airline Emirates is looking to hire cabin crew in Newcastle as it gets set to hold a major recruitment day in the city.

Those looking for an exciting career change are being urged to attend the event on April 19 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Newcastle.

The airline wants to recruit candidates who are passionate about hospitality and no previous cabin crew experience is necessary as successful applicants will be trained in Dubai.

All Emirates crew are based in Dubai and enjoy perks including a tax-free salary, free company-provided accommodation, free transport to and from work, medical cover and discounts on shopping and leisure activities in Dubai. Cabin crew will also be able to enjoy discounted Emirates flights for themselves, family and friends.

The Emirates job advert says the airline is looking to hire people with "a personality that shines and the ability to adapt to any situation and make people feel at ease."

It adds: "As the face of Emirates, you’ll be the person customers turn to for help and direction when they fly with us, so you need to be friendly, observant and able to provide the right support. Being a member of the cabin crew is so much more than a service role – safety is our highest priority.

"You’ll need to lead confidently and take control when it comes to managing aircraft services, security, and safety procedures."

Those who are interested can simply turn up to the event on the day with their CV and a recent photograph of themselves. However, candidates are advised to pre-register here for a smoother experience.

Those who attend will need to come prepared to spend the full day at the venue as candidates will be shortlisted at the event and will undergo assessments and interviews that same day.

This is what Emirates is looking for:

More than a year’s experience in hospitality/customer service
A positive attitude and the natural ability to provide excellent service in a team environment, dealing with people from many cultures
To be able to speak and write fluently in English
You have to be at least 160cm tall and can reach 212 cm while standing on tiptoes, to enable you to reach emergency equipment on all aircraft types
No visible tattoos
As Emirates cabin crew, you’ll be based in Dubai and will need to meet the UAE's employment visa requirements
