Emirates’ official pilot careers calendar lists multiple events across the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands this month, underscoring the airline’s ongoing global talent acquisition drive. According to Emirates’ official Pilot Roadshows schedule published on its careers portal, the roadshows are set to take place as follows: United Kingdom (February 2026) Emirates is hosting roadshows in four major cities during February: Manchester – 9 February at 10:00 and 13:00 Manchester – 10 February at 10:00 Belfast – 11 February at 11:00 and 12 February at 10:00 London Heathrow – 14 February at 10:00 and 13:00; 15 February at 10:00 London Gatwick – 16 February at 10:00 and 13:00; 17 February at 10:00 These sessions are aimed at experienced commercial pilots based in or near the UK.

Emirates’ careers page notes that these sessions are part of a broader global engagement initiative designed to inform prospective applicants about the airline’s pilot recruitment process, role eligibility criteria and career pathways, and to provide a platform for direct interaction with recruitment specialists. Pre-registration is available through the official Emirates Pilot Careers site. Emirates has been actively expanding its pilot workforce to support long-term fleet growth and global network expansion. Last year in 2025, in an official statement on World Pilots’ Day, the airline reaffirmed its commitment to hiring more than 1,500 new pilots over the next two years as part of a wider strategic recruitment push. This hiring effort is positioned alongside Emirates’ commitment to enhancing crew career progression through programmes such as Direct Entry Captain, Accelerated Command and First Officer roles. The carrier’s recruitment efforts also reflect continued strong operational performance and fleet development, including the integration of next-generation wide-body aircraft into service. These developments underline Emirates’ focus on both commercial growth and talent acquisition in a competitive global aviation environment.

Emirates Launches Pilot Hiring Roadshows Across UK, Belgium And Netherlands In February

Kolkata, India: A Turkish Airlines Airbus A330 on a scheduled service from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Istanbul, Turkey made a full emergency landing at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata, on Wednesday afternoon after the crew reported a fire in the aircraft’s right engine shortly after take-off. The flight, operating as THY-727, departed Tribhuvan International Airport at approximately 1:28 PM local time with 236 people on board 225 passengers and 11 crew members. Within four minutes of take-off, the pilots received a warning of a possible fire in the right engine and immediately shut down the affected unit. Following standard emergency procedures, the captain declared a PAN PAN distress call, an international aviation signal indicating an urgent situation and elected to divert the long-haul flight to Kolkata rather than continue towards its planned destination. Air traffic control at Kolkata was informed of the situation, and a full emergency response was activated, deploying firefighting and rescue units ahead of the aircraft’s arrival. The Airbus A330, capable of flying on a single engine, landed safely at around 2:49 PM IST without incident. Officials from both Nepal and Indian aviation authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported among passengers or crew. Tribhuvan International Airport briefly suspended operations for about 15 minutes following the alarm. After landing, the aircraft was parked at Kolkata Airport and underwent detailed technical inspection to determine the exact cause and extent of the engine malfunction. Passengers were reportedly accommodated in local hotels while arrangements were made for onward travel, including plans for a replacement aircraft earlyThursday morning.
