Etihad Cabin Crew Recruitment Day Bali: 24 November 2026

The Etihad cabin crew recruitment day in Bali takes place on Tuesday 24 November 2026 at 9:00 AM, and registration is open now on Etihad's official careers platform. The jobs are based in Abu Dhabi, with tax-free pay of up to AED 10,000 a month. You cannot simply turn up: apply online, and Etihad invites the candidates it shortlists.

What is on offer?

Etihad's careers site currently shows three cabin crew dates that are still ahead of us.

The airline's cabin crew page says it has about 5,300 cabin crew and is still growing. In the Bali posting, Etihad adds that it plans to double its fleet by 2030 and flies to more than 100 destinations.

Who can apply?

Etihad publishes these conditions:

• Age: 21 or older when you apply.
• Education: you have completed high school (Grade 12 or its equivalent).
• Language: fluent written and spoken English. Extra languages help.
• Appearance: no tattoos or piercings visible in uniform. The careers page says covering tattoos with make-up or bandages is not accepted.
• Attitude: guest-focused, flexible, happy with irregular roster hours and strict about safety rules.

There is no rule that you must be Indonesian. The event is simply held in Bali, so it suits people who can get there easily.

What is the salary and package?

Etihad also sets out a promotion path: Economy to Business Class from 12 months, Business Class to Cabin Senior from another 12 months, and Cabin Senior to Cabin Manager from 24 months. It notes that timing depends on your performance and on business needs.

How to apply — step by step

1. Open the official Bali posting: Cabin Crew Recruitment Day | Bali. It is also linked from the "Register" button on Etihad's cabin crew page.
2. Complete the online application. Prepare an up-to-date CV in English, your passport details, your high school certificate and a clear, recent photo in business dress.
3. Wait for the review. Etihad says its team reads applications and contacts shortlisted people with an invitation. The venue in Bali is not printed on the public posting, so the invitation is where you will get it.
4. Attend on 24 November at 9:00 AM if invited. According to Etihad's careers page, these days include group activities, aptitude and English tests, and a final interview about your experience and motivation.
5. After the day, successful candidates move on to the joining process for Abu Dhabi. Etihad does not publish a timeline for this, so keep checking your email, including the spam folder.

Cannot reach Bali, Porto or Lisbon? Etihad tells candidates to begin with its worldwide cabin crew online application, found on the same careers page.

You do not need an agent, a training academy or any middleman. Etihad states that it is not affiliated with any cabin crew academy. Its fraud notice is clear: the airline never asks for payment, bank details or personal information fees during recruitment. Anyone who asks you for money for an Etihad job is not Etihad.

Tips that raise your chances

• Lead your CV with service work. Hotels, restaurants, retail, call centres and nursing all show you can look after people.
• Show safety thinking. First-aid training, lifeguard or security experience fits what the airline asks for.
• List every language and your level honestly. You will be tested in English on the day.
• Check the tattoo rule before you apply. This is a common reason people are turned away.
• Dress like crew. Neat business clothes, tidy hair and a calm, friendly manner count from the moment you arrive.
• Do not attend uninvited. These are invite-only days.

Quick checklist: passport, English CV, school certificate, photo, a working email address and your travel plan to Bali.

What it means for job seekers

• This is a real route into an Abu Dhabi-based airline job without paying anyone.
• Registration closes when Etihad decides it has enough candidates, and no closing date is published, so apply early.
• An invitation is not a job offer. Preparation for the group tasks and the English test is what improves your odds.
