How long does it take to become a Purser at Emirates, Qatar & Etihad???

How fast can you become Cabin Manager at Etihad?

At Etihad, cabin crew can progress through clear career steps:

  • Economy → Business Class: from 12 months
  •  Business Class → Cabin Senior: from 12 months
  •  Cabin Senior → Cabin Manager: from 24 months

That means the timeline to become Cabin Manager can be around 4 years or more, depending on your performance and Etihad’s business needs.

It is much more quicker when it comes to promotion with Etihad compared to the timeline with Qatar or Emirates. And at Etihad a purser is called Cabin Manager. 

Cabin Managers have the purple hat. Their Cabin Seniors also have the purple hat.

 How long does it take to become a Purser at Emirates?

There is no specific timeline with EK. It depends on your performance, experience and career progression.

You typically start in Economy Class, then, with good performance, you can progress to Business Class → First Class → Cabin Supervisor.

After gaining experience as a Cabin Supervisor, you can apply for the Purser role.

For some crew, reaching Purser can take around 8 years, while for others, it can take 13+ years.

It takes a long time with Emirates to reach the Purser role. 

Their uniform is darker compared to the others.

How long does it take to become a Cabin Services Director at Qatar Airways?

There is no fixed timeline for crew in Qatar either to reach this level. Also Purser in Qatar Airways i called ''Cabin Services Director''. 

You normally start as cabin crew and, with experience and good performance, progress through senior cabin roles before reaching Cabin Services Director.

Looking at real Qatar Airways crew career paths, it can take around 8 to 12+ years to reach this level.

It takes a long time too with Qatar to reach this level.

Their uniforms are dark gray compared to the others.
