Your headline is sponsorship.

The rest of your question relates to company specific jobs, I am not able to answer that.

If the company is hiring you, then they automatically sponsor you, but the documentation takes time.

You can then sponsor family, (within either company limits or MOL limits).

As your initial base licence has to be VERIFIED by the GCAA and approved, for the basic issue of a tempory licence, then a full licence, it can take two or three months for the process to be complete. If your company is big, and has a competent HR and training department it is boring and painless. You will however get to see just how the lower levels of expats are treated as a special bonus.

Your woork visa and your licence is beholden on your sponsor, so change company then all can go back to zero, or even -6 mths from zero.

good luck, and welcome.

Man if you can't get a list of UAE airlines by yourself, you don't deserve to fly for any airline:confused:
