Elevate Your Career: Etihad Cabin Crew Open Day in Barcelona!
Join Us in Barcelona and Take the First Step Toward an Extraordinary Future
Are you ready to transform your passion for people into a global career? Etihad Airways is coming to Barcelona, and we're inviting aspiring cabin crew to meet us in person for our upcoming Open Day. With ambitious plans to double our fleet by 2030, there's never been a more exciting moment to become part of our award-winning team.

More Than a Job—A Lifestyle, a Community, a Launchpad
At Etihad, we see cabin crew differently. You're not just a flight attendant—you're the heart of the guest experience, an ambassador of Arabian hospitality, and a crucial part of a story that connects people across continents. Every flight brings new faces, new challenges, and new opportunities to create moments that genuinely matter.
What truly sets Etihad apart is our commitment to you. We've built an inclusive family representing over 145 nationalities, where your growth is our priority. Whether you dream of moving into Business Class service, stepping up to Cabin Senior, or eventually leading the cabin as Cabin Manager, we offer structured, transparent career pathways that reward your performance and dedication.
The Role: Where Safety Meets Heartfelt Service
As Etihad Cabin Crew, you'll balance two equally important responsibilities: ensuring the highest safety standards while delivering warm, intuitive service that makes every guest feel genuinely valued. No two days look the same—you might find yourself comforting a nervous flyer one moment, celebrating a honeymoon couple the next, or assisting a family traveling with young children. It's fast-paced, unpredictable, and deeply rewarding work that will stretch you, grow you, and connect you with the world.
