Age restriction?

Hi there everyone,

I have a question that I would like to put to any of you who are currently employed at Emirates, particularly those of you who are employed as cabin crew, work in cabin crew recruitment, or anyone who works in the flying sections of Emirates who might be able to answer my question.

I have heard that there is an age restriction for those who are applying for the position of Emirates Cabin crew, despite it not being stated on their cabin crew application/website information page. I have heard that Emirates will not consider anyone much over the age of 30.

I also recently came accross an ex-cabin crew recruiter who used to work for Emirates and who left Emirates not that long ago to work for another airline. This person said that Emirates would not consider anyone over the age of 35.

Is there anyone out there who can definitely confirm or deny this rumour?

I also came accross someone who had attended two separate open days for Emirates cabin crew last year in Auckland and felt that she didn't get a look in due to the fact that she was 37.

I would be most grateful to anyone who might be able to provide an answer.
