Emirates Engineering will host dedicated hiring sessions in Colombo on July 7, Kuala Lumpur on July 7–8, Bangkok on July 7–8, Mumbai on July 21–22 and New Delhi on July 24–25. Additional dates are listed for specific roles, such as senior mechanic interviews in Mumbai on June 23‑25 and licensed aircraft engineer sessions in New Delhi on July 24‑25. These cities serve as important aviation hubs, offering a pool of skilled professionals that Emirates can draw upon to support its regional operations.
