It was a historic day at the Emirates Aviation College in Dubai as the 10,000th cabin crew members graduated from the international airline’s intensive training course.

Mohana Chonayah, the 10,000th graduate, arrived in Dubai six weeks ago from Malaysia, where she was recruited after impressing Emirates recruitment officers during the careful selection process.

She was one of the 61 new cabin crew who has spent the last six weeks undergoing intensive training and assessment at the world-class Emirates Aviation College in Dubai. The graduates trained in state-of-the art facilities, including emergency training simulators and full-scale aircraft mock-ups, along with medical training accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh to ensure that Emirates’ passengers benefit from being in the best qualified hands in the industry.

Mohana was joined on stage at the graduation ceremony by the first 500th and 1,000th Emirates cabin crew, all of whom are still flying with the multi-award winning international carrier.
