DUBAI, Oct 24 (Alliance News): Dubai’s aviation sector is set for a major expansion, with 185,000 new jobs to be created by 2030, bringing the total workforce in aviation-related roles to an impressive 816,000, according to a recent Emirates Group and Dubai Airports report.
The surge in hiring follows the post-COVID rebound in the sector, with recruitment of pilots, cabin crew, and ground staff hitting record numbers since late 2021.
