Meydan Part 2 or Meydan South as it is named is in the southwest patch of ground where Emirates Rd (Sheikh Mohammed road now I guess) and the Al Ain Rd meet...

Semi detached villas, fairly decent spread of land between most of them.

End of jun at the earlist. No new hires going there until Meydan Heights are filled. still about 250 there. There is also most of the DIC guys going to Meydan South first .


Meydan Millennium Estates is not Meydan South ( where EK pilots are going)

FB, really? A quick google search provided exactly the information he sought bar completion time, which is moot at best anyway, so I thought a bit of irony wouldn't go amiss.

Meydan to build Emirates Airline pilots’ village | The National

The location is at the bottom of this picture next to the freeway:

Points to note:
- Semi-detached = terraced row of back to back cells
- District 11 wasn't flattened in the Hunger Games
- District 9 doesn't have aliens
- No you won't be getting a 10M dirham vilas

You actually think Google earth is updated.
Have you been out to Meydan South? I have. Managed to get in before the restricted access . End of June might be a stretch . But those in DIC have been given notice that if they choose Meydan South their leases will be extended until Meydan South is complete .

Are the houses in Meyden south any better than the current ones we hear so much about?

Yes, the upstairs toilets have been certified after thorough testing with half a pound of mashed up Dundee cake.

Hi michaela74,

Regarding your question. It's in the emirates group careers website.

Requirements for the Position of First Officer A380

- 2500 hours multi-crew, multi-engine jet with MTOW 50+ tonnes which must include 1500 hours and current on modern fly by wire Airbus aircraft
- Full ICAO ATPL
- Unrestricted Class 1 Medical


But just a headsup...they will place you where they need. No matter what you have been flying or you are rated at the moment. Many guys with several thousand hours on B737, were placed on the A330...

Hi guys,

How do they calculate the accomodation allowance? Is it a fix amount or related to your rank, marital status, kidds etc...

How much would it be for a single f/o?

I guess they'll have to re-make this video. Most of the locations are no more, and definitely no back yards big enough to 'kick some footie' any longer.

WK, do they fix the big height difference between the living room and the backyard before you move in or is it up to you? Seems like it's a big fall waiting to happen as one steps out.

All depends on what you do to the garden, many variations

Can anyone in Meydan South recommend a landscaper? I just moved in and I'm sick of all that sand already. And while we are at it, any recommendations on where to shop for curtains? They are bloody expensive!

Can you take the allowance and rent you own property, possibly share with another single pilot and save more money?
