Second Officer Programme at flydubai in Dubai

Through flydubai Careers, the airline is offering a Second Officer Programme within its Flight Operations department in Dubai. Qualified commercial pilot licence holders complete type-rating and assessment phases, build flying hours and work toward becoming a First Officer.
