How long are Emirates contracts?

How long is the contract and is it binding? In accordance with current Dubai Government regulations, the contract is a three-year non-binding one, renewable with agreement by Emirates management and crew member. There is a probationary period of six months commencing from the date of joining.



For cabin crew, Emirates typically offers an initial three-year fixed-term contract. This contract is renewable by mutual agreement at the end of the term. The contract includes a comprehensive benefits package, such as tax-free salary, furnished accommodation in Dubai, and "PLATINUM" card discounts at various local businesses. For pilots, the contracts are also typically long-term but are structured differently depending on whether they are hired for the "Direct Entry Captain" or "First Officer" programs. It is important to note that Emirates has a six-month probation period at the start of the first contract, during which performance and "grooming" standards are strictly monitored. Most crew members stay for at least two contracts (six years), but many make a career of it, staying for 15 years or more. If a crew member decides to leave before the end of their first contract, they may be liable for "training bond" repayments, which decrease proportionally with every month of service completed.
