Dispatch jobs in the ME (DXB,DOH) ???
Wonder if anyone can share any ideas on available dicpatch/load control positions in the ME... Doha, Dubai??? preferably with an airline or GHA can do as well.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated. //Dispatchguy |
Dispatchguy,
Dispatch in DXB is performed by DNATA, the ground handling company, which is part of the Emirates group. They have just recently held interviews in the Uk for Redcaps, but I don't know if they received their full quota. Best thing to do is visit their website, and then fill out an application form online. www.emiratesgroupcareers.com I am not familiar with how load control works within Dnata, but seek out the Blueboy on here, and they will be able to expand somewhat more.

Dispatch in the ME
Thanks a million for the directions.
Have checked on EK Group and DNDATA, but thought that its not worht to send in CV on specualtive basis and then wait unless there are any vacancies advertised. Has anyone got any ideas what systems is DNDATA using? Heard somewhere QR is using BABS DCS (???), has EK got something of their own? //Dispatchguy |

Check your PM's !!! |
Good Evening Gentlemen,
Super Aviator, how's it going? Check your email,........ EK use there own in house system to my knowledge, but stand to be corrected. As for QR, ? ? ?, Dunno! As for speculative completion of the online application form? I would fill it in. Why wait for the mountain to come to you, when you can already be on it when it starts moving! AOG007 :cool: |
By all means submit your CV, BUT still continue to check the Emirates web site and be ready to send another CV for a specific position.
EK receives between 7,000-8,000 job applications per month and one or two get lost !!!!!! :cool: :cool: :cool: |
DNATA
Dispatch Guy,
DNATA are still recruiting Dispatchers. Although Interviews were recently held in London, I believe that there are more coming up. Anyway, check your PM's. BB |
Re EK Loadcontrol/Dispatch jobs
Anyone know what the pay/benefits are? |
I can confirm that QR do use BABS in DOH.
EK use MARS which they bought from the SAir Group. Cant think of what it was called at the time. Its not to dissimilar to BABS from a load control/checkin point of view. I would also love to know what the pay/conditions are with DNATA in DXB. |

Starting salary for Dnata Dispatchers is offered at £15,000PA
(Remeber this is tax free, so £1250 monthly) Benefits are, housing with no bills excluding international phone calls etc. |
super aviator..........
sounds interesting so far !! when you say housing, is that in a dorm or something ? do you know, or anyone else for that matter know much else about the working conditions out there - like shifts etc etc.... thanks for an further info |
The standard of company accommodation is generally OK. Obviously that depends on who they put you with (Geezer :}), and where they put you.
They do try and keep people of similar cultures together, though that's not always possible. As a general rule of thumb, expect to share with at least one other person, usually two. You can always take the option of the housing allowance once you've found your way around, but accommodation is quite expensive, and is not always to the same standard as that provided by the company. (Do a search on the Middle East Forum for more on this). The shift patterns tend to vary somewhat, especially if you try to compare them to Europe. The Airport is busiest through the night, therefore most of the work is through the night. |
I have just got a interview for a Duty Manager job in DXB this week, whats the consensius of opinion in going to DXB at this moment in view of the Iraq situation?.
|
Consensus amoung my friends is that we are all safer here, than when any of us were back in the UK. Especially as I was in London before here.
Would not need worry about small things like that, well not yet anyway. One must remain realistic, and of course we are closer here than the UK. But the war is not the threat. It's the backlash, and I don;t see that happening here, to the extent it can happen in many other major cities around the world. Come over, you'll enjoy it, most people do....... AOG007 |
The only time I have felt threatened here was going close to AOG007"s BBQ, his technique leaves a lot to be desired.
The general opinion here, including locals, is that they will be glad to see the back of SH. But you could get the odd lose cannon spraying bullets as you can anywhere in the world. :cool: :cool: :cool: |
Fiction,
But my unique technique for Desert BBQ's cooked your Shrimps pretty well. As for my desert driving technique..... Well I could understand you not being to keen on that :D AOG007 |
dispatch jobs in dxb
hi all,
i can tell you abit about dispatch jobs in dxb,recently had a interview with DNATA. first of DNATA are looking to increase their work load by a very large amount in the next 18 months. DXB works under a open skies policy no runway slots are required so everyone is on the ground at the same time 8am in the morning and from what i was told 2am in the morning the place is like hell. the contracts are not fixed,the pay is tax free £900 a month if you take the option of company accomodation,thats sharing with other dispatchers and of the same sex only,no mixed sex set-ups i am afraid. if you do not take the company option of accomodation you earn £1100 tax free,so you get a meagre £200 a month more to find somewhere to live chances are that it may not have air-con,and dxb is expensive to rent from what i have learnt. their is no real job training as such,as they expect you to have experience,is just a case of 'shadowing' another dispatcher. the work force is very multi-racial,i was told there is only a handful of european dispatchers,the rest are from india, pakistan,phillipines and so on,there is no arabs as they are all 'stinking rich' and drive ferrari's. the loading staff hardly speak english and you need eyes in the back of your head when it comes to giving orders!. as for dcs systems they use 8 different dcs systems babs being one of them,they have just scrapped codeco the klm system used by servisair and aviance,dnata are trying to get all carriers on their own dcs. so if its less money than the uk you want,and 45c temp and 100% humidity in mid august then dxb is the place to be, there is opportunity to get on if you prove your worth to a supervisors posn within poss 6 months,as for loadcontrol posns i am not to sure,they would prob be the best bet!. well for those who are thinking of dxb,i hope this helps, hope it does not sound to negative but that what i was told by their dispatch and hr manager!. good luck |
Dnata Interview
Mickey71,
Can you give more details on DNATA interview process: what are the questions they ask, what background experience do they expect from candidates etc... ? Also someone here had said salary levels for Dispatchers are around GBP1250 per month including free accomodation. Could it be so low down to GBP900 ??? Also, check your PMs. //Dispatchguy |
So Mickey
Did you get the job? and are you going to take it? rgds |
