DUBAI: flydubai will host its UAE National Careers Open Day on 16th August at the flydubai Campus, inviting UAE nationals to explore rewarding careers and learn more about the carrier’s training and development programmes. The event reflects flydubai’s continued commitment to developing Emirati talent and supporting the UAE’s national workforce agenda by creating meaningful career pathways across one of the country’s most dynamic industries. Nasser Binkherbash, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at flydubai, said, "At flydubai, investing in people is fundamental to our continued growth.

"As we continue to grow our fleet and network, we remain committed to developing the next generation of UAE aviation professionals who will help shape the future of our airline.” Taking place at the flydubai campus, the event will provide candidates with the opportunity to meet the airline’s recruitment and talent development teams, gain insights into the aviation industry and discover programmes designed to equip UAE nationals with the skills and experience required for long-term careers. Opportunities available include the Engineering Apprentice Programme (AMEL), Flight Dispatcher Programme, Pilot Training Programmes including the Ab Initio and Second Officer, UAE National Graduate Programmes, and other development opportunities across operational and corporate functions. flydubai has built a network of more than 120 destinations across 58 countries and is served by a growing fleet of 97 Boeing 737 aircraft.
