Etihad Airways to Recruit Brazilian Cabin Crew

Etihad Airways is to launch a major recruitment drive in Brazil, following the successful debut of its Sao Paulo – Abu Dhabi services.

Specialists from Etihad Airways’ recruitment team will be in Sao Paulo on Wednesday 10 July looking to employ hundreds of Brazilian men and women to join its ranks in Abu Dhabi as members of its cabin crew team, including Diamond First Class Inflight Chefs and Pearl Business Class Food and Beverage Managers.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Etihad Airways is renowned as a leading global employer and we are looking for talented Brazilians to join our multinational and multicultural team. As a member of Etihad Airways’ Guest Services division, cabin crew members benefit from extensive training and development, with tremendous career opportunities and new life experiences in the UAE. Etihad Airways is a world class company and we are proud to have a world class workforce and the addition of Sao Paulo means that we seek greater numbers of Brazilians to join the Etihad family. Our focus is always on our guest. This means we are looking for people who will proudly represent Brazil, and act as ambassadors for our brand to deliver exceptional service at all times, no matter the challenge.”

The recruitment day will take place in Sao Paulo on Wednesday 10 July and will be by invitation only.

Any applicants interested in attending the day, and joining Etihad Airways, should register in advance by visiting careers.etihadairways.com or emailing Etihad.

New cabin crew members undergo a six week training program in Abu Dhabi, which includes all aspects of cabin safety and service delivery.

More than 90 Brazilian nationals currently work for Etihad Airways, including 23 pilots and 28 cabin crew. All are based in the United Arab Emirates and enjoy various benefits including medical insurance and housing support.
