By cultivating a wealth of expertise amongst our talent, we are creating a strong pool of future leaders who can seize opportunities and navigate challenges within the industry. We are confident that in their new roles, Emirates will be well-represented outside of our homebase, and the team will continue to serve our customers and deepen relationships with partners, in addition to enhancing our competitiveness in Emirates’ key markets.

“This rotation is part of our long-established commercial outstation managers programme, with a track record spanning over 25 years, that has groomed many UAE nationals to date. I’ve personally started my Emirates career through this programme, and firmly believe that the experience gained by our team in different markets and varied commercial roles is invaluable to the company’s objectives, and also for our managers’ professional growth. It also supports the UAE’s strategic economic vision of creating a knowledge-based economy powered by skilled Emiratis and contributes to the advancement of the UAE aviation sector.”
