Paid periods are 14-22 January, 6-14 February and 25 February-5 March 2027 inclusive, totalling 27 paid days. The three, four and three destination leisure days are paid. The first trip has separate arrival, crew introduction dinner and aircraft-preparation days before departure on 17 January. Later trips have separate arrival and aircraft-preparation days before departure, without a repeat introduction dinner. Unpaid leave is 23 January-5 February inclusive (14 days) and 15-24 February inclusive (10 days), with no duties or standby. Normal mission costs are covered during paid periods. During unpaid leave, agency-funded accommodation is available only through the corresponding selection; meals and personal travel are not included in that accommodation offer. Flight times remain planning slots subject to operator approval.

How does it work?

Imagine that you live in Dubai and the departure point for the mission is in Abu Dhabi. If transport is available for this event, you will see the specific options in your application.

Transport by car

If you choose car transport, a driver will pick you up at the address you provide in Dubai and take you to the departure point in Abu Dhabi.

Transport by plane, jet, or helicopter

If you choose plane transport, a driver will pick you up in Dubai and take you to the airport. You will then fly to Abu Dhabi, where your mission will continue. Depending on the event, a private flight, jet, or helicopter may be available instead of a regular plane.

Accommodation before the mission

For a longer journey, accommodation before the mission may be available so that you do not have to travel in a rush on the day of departure.

In the example above, a driver will pick you up in Dubai, take you to a hotel in Abu Dhabi, and pick you up at the hotel the following day to take you to the departure point.

Transport and accommodation after the mission

After the mission, the agency will arrange transport from the arrival point back to your place of stay if you select this transport in your application.

If accommodation after the mission is also available and you select it, the agency will arrange accommodation before your journey home.

You will only see options that are actually available for the event. You must select the transport or accommodation you require in your application.
