Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in attending an Open Day for Emirates as it's been a dream of mine for a while (EK Wannabe here). However, I've just turned 30.
There is no maximum age listed on their website and there are plenty of cabin crew that are 30+, but is being 30 at a recruiting level/event a red flag for recruiters?

I have plenty of experience both in airline work and corporate work within customer service and single. I understand that early 20's are ideal for EK concerning civil status alone but do any of you have any knowledge of EK hiring over 30 for cabin crew?

I appreciate your answers!

Why not give it a go, see if Emirates or the cabin crew life is really for you? It's a fact that there are many cabin crew at EK in their early 20's and they prefer to have non experienced crew, but it doesn't mean to say that you might not get in automatically because of age. If you meet the requirements on the day and the quota that the recruiters are looking for, you might get lucky! Sometimes it is purely down to luck and it may take a few assessment days to get through. Also, if you are set on being cabin crew, try other airlines also... there are a few recruiting in the Middle East right now!

Yep! You definitely can.
I'm ex QR(1.5 yrs) , ex EK(4yrs) crew.
Two of my batchmates, one was 30, another 31 when they joined Emirates, and I've flown with quite a few boys and girls aged 30-34 when they joined. However, I haven't personally come across anyone who joined over the age of 34.
I'm not really sure about QR, as I didn't stay there for very long. Wish you the best!
