Etihad Airways will soon begin a new global recruitment drive for 2023 in search of cabin crew, ahead of the planned return of its Airbus A380 superjumbos in the summer as travel demand continues to grow. The airline will be hiring candidates from across the world in January, from its home base in Abu Dhabi to cities in Europe and Asia as it continues to grow amid a surge in passenger demand, the airline said on Monday. "If you’re interested in a flying career then there is no better place to start than here," said Nadia Bastaki, Etihad's chief human resources, organisational development and asset management officer. "Those who are selected will be able to experience different cultures, visit wonderful destinations and grow their career within Etihad." The move comes after the Gulf carrier pledged to return four of its 10 A380s to the skies, rethinking its earlier plans to ground the double-deckers indefinitely, as travel demand surged across its network. The UAE airline plans to use four of its superjumbos in the summer on flights to London Heathrow, freeing up capacity for increased frequencies on existing routes and the launch of new destinations, it said. Etihad is preparing the aircraft to fly again, which will require the recruitment and training of pilots, cabin crew and technical ground staff.<br/>
