flydubai is a Dubai based low cost carrier flying an all Boeing 737 fleet across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe. Its own careers site publishes separate, detailed hour, licence, medical, English and bond requirements for Captain, First Officer and Second Officer roles, split further by whether a candidate already holds a current 737 type rating.
Applications are made on flydubai's own site. SkyStudy never collects an application, a document or a fee.
What the operator asks for
Only what flydubai states publicly. "Not stated" means the operator does not publish that figure, not that there is no requirement, and never that the requirement is zero.
Any age, nationality, residency, height or vision criterion above is the operator's own stated criterion, quoted from its own page. Some such criteria are lawful where an operator recruits and unlawful elsewhere, including in the EU. SkyStudy reports them factually and does not adopt them as requirements of its own.
Every published profile is checked by hand against the operator's own careers page, and is flagged for a recheck 180 days after that check. Requirements change without notice, so confirm every figure on the operator's own careers page before you apply.
Contract type: Not stated. Do not assume direct employment; some operators contract through an agency or on a self-employed basis, which changes tax, sick pay and pension entirely.
flydubai's own first officer page states a package of AED 37,000 per month (basic salary plus housing and transportation allowances), with variable flying pay averaging AED 11,410 per month based on 70 flying hours.
For what pilots earn by region and seat, with its own sources and dates, see the pilot salary guide. Those are market ranges, not an offer from this operator.
Not stated. This operator does not publish its selection stages, so nothing is listed here. A recruitment site claiming to know the stages is guessing, and so would we be.
