Etihad Airways will be hiring around 1000 people year-on-year for the next seven years

For the next seven years, Etihad Airways plans to hire about 1000 staff annually. The intentions for the extension of national careers in the near future were disclosed by Antonoaldo Neves, the CEO of Etihad Airways, on the second day of the Dubai Airshow.

The national airline of the United Arab Emirates is celebrating 20 years of operation this week at the Airshow. In addition, it will be exhibiting its newest aircraft, a Boeing 787-9, one of four new Dreamliners joining the fleet after the arrival of a new 787-10 in October. With 12 new destinations added this year and an expansion strategy that calls for a 10% annual increase, the new aircraft will support Etihad's expansion goals.

The airline plans to launch new flights to Boston, Nairobi, and India in the upcoming months. The carrier, which has had a 35% increase in growth this year, has increased the number of flight frequencies it uses and enhanced network connection to extend its operations into new regions.

Three stories high, located between Piers C and D of the recently constructed northern terminal, is the First and Business Class Etihad lounge, which provides passengers with an abundance of first-rate facilities to enhance their pre-flight experience.
