According to a senior official, Riyadh Air, the new airline of Saudi Arabia that will launch in the middle of 2025, will conduct a hiring spree in Dubai to fill hundreds of jobs in a variety of roles.

The airline company is hiring for a variety of corporate roles as well as cabin crew, pilots, engineers, and maintenance and has scheduled recruitment days for the fourth quarter of this year in Dubai, Paris, and Saudi Arabia. The company plans to hire 300 cabin crew members by the end of 2024, with the first hires scheduled to begin in the first quarter of that year. 

In October, the airline conducted a roadshow for hiring in London. By 2030, the airline—which was started by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund (PIF)—hopes to directly and indirectly generate 200,000 employment.

From November 13 to November 17, the Saudi carrier will be present at the Dubai Airshow. It is said that over the five days of the event, the carrier will reveal a massive order. It will also highlight a collaboration with high-end electric car maker Lucid Group for the advancement of environmentally friendly transportation.
