Airline's open day bids to fill 50 positions

Etihad Airways is to hold an open day in Dublin this week in a bid to fill 50 positions it is creating in Abu Dhabi, the airline announced this afternoon.

The company says it chose Ireland for an open day because of the country's highly skilled and knowledge-based work force.

Etihad is seeking licensed aircraft engineers, maintenance engineers, sheet metal workers and cabin crew.

The open day will take place this Wednesday at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin.
