Etihad Airways is recruiting Captain A320 pilots in Abu Dhabi as it expands its Airbus narrowbody flight operations and prepares for further fleet growth. The live job posting outlines a command role on the A320 with responsibility for safe, secure and efficient flight operations, alongside crew leadership and adherence to Etihad standards.
The listing also includes a Captain A320 – Instructor position, extending the recruitment drive into pilot training and development. That role covers instructional duties for Etihad pilots and requires compliance with GCAA CAR-FCL and CAR-AIR OPS rules. The broader hiring push also covers A320 first officers, pointing to a wider cockpit recruitment programme tied to the airline’s operational requirements.
Etihad is also preparing pilot recruitment roadshows in Munich on 13 October and Frankfurt on 15 October, targeting Airbus-experienced captains and first officers. The job posting forms part of current recruitment content rather than a standalone fleet or route announcement, but it signals continued demand for qualified A320 crew as the airline builds capacity in Abu Dhabi.
