Pay in the UAE

What's a job in helicopters pay? Does it pay? Why do you get paid more than me?

Pay in the UAE

Postby driftwood » Fri Dec 9 2011, 00:56

G'day people,
Would anyone be able to give me a rough idea of the monthly income for an engineer working in Abu Dhabi.
Thanks in advance.

Pay at Abu Dhabi Aviation is:

Captain Level 1 USD 616 per day on site
Captain level 2 USD 457 per day on site

Copilot USD 345 ? per day on site

You get an Per Diem for operations outslde the UAE. Usually USD 100.00 per day. The EMS operation in Saudi Arabia has a USD 200 per day Per Diem. (Co-pilots only get USD 100 in Saudi) Plus meal allowance if meals are not supplied. (this varies depending upon the contract)

In the UAE you stay at the ADA Housing Site which is new, but miles from the city. Miles from anything really. In Abu Dhabi you have to pay for your own meals. There is a kitten at the Villas and a company bus service that runs to the supermarket everyday.

I hope that this helps

MItch, I'm pretty sure he's asking more about mechanic/engineer pay rates.

I should read the question!!

I think engineers get about USD 350 - 380 per day & Per Diems as above.

At ADA they work 8 weeks on & 4 weeks off.
