Over the last few years, Dubai has become the world’s leading destination for companies, investors, and tourists from all around the globe. As a result, Dubai International Airport has broken all records, ranking as the world’s busiest for international travel, in 2024.
The Emirates National Airline (Emirates) accounts for 51% of all passenger traffic at Dubai Airport, making it the largest air carrier in the Middle East. The Group is renowned for its high-class cabin offerings, in-flight entertainment, and extensive network connecting the six continents.
As one of the fastest-growing companies in the region, The Emirates Group offers a wide range of open positions and attracts talent from around the world. By joining the Emirates team, employees with different backgrounds and nationalities get access to exclusive benefits including travel discounts, accommodation allowance, education support, and extended maternity leaves.
To reinforce its position as a preferred employer in the aviation sector, the company constantly innovates, creating disruptive strategies to recruit and retain highly skilled professionals.
In January 2025, the Group unveiled their latest people-centered project “Wejhaty”, aimed to improve employees’ experience and better serve their families – as well as potential candidates, new joiners, and retirees.
“Wejhaty”, which can be translated to “my destination” in Arabic, is a futuristic 22,770ft2 lounge, catering to both employees’ and jobseekers’ needs. The private lounge provides visitors with services such as biometrics, Dubai Health’s medical fitness tests, medical x-rays, HR, IT, and payroll – with concierge attendants available for additional guidance and support.
This new initiative streamlines employees’ onboarding, visa applications, recruitment, and training through cutting-edge solutions and a well-rounded process – allowing them to enjoy a seamless and stress-free experience.
Every aspect of “Wejhaty” has been thought of and carefully designed to prioritize individual comfort, well-being, and career development – from a supervised kids’ playground to relaxation areas and large auditoriums for training and team-building activities.
The lounge also features assessment spaces for candidates and recruiters, along with high-end meeting rooms, equipped with advanced audiovisual tools and systems. A dedicated and immersive section is accessible for recent hires to soak in the vibrant culture and powerful values of the Emirates Group.
Through “Wejhaty”, Emirates is setting a new standard for corporate benefits in the UAE and taking employee care to the next level. The company’s commitment to creating state-of-the-art facilities and placing its people’s well-being at the forefront is a key factor in its sustained reputation as Dubai’s largest employer.
