Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - September 12, 2026:

flynas has begun the first-phase exam for applicants to the 2026 “Future Pilots” program on Saturday, as part of the assessment and selection process to identify candidates for admission.

flynas plans to enroll 300 trainees in the “Future Pilots” program, with an initial acceptance of 150 trainees, to support the development of national talent and meet the company’s pilot workforce requirements while keeping pace with its plans to expand its fleet and network.

The program targets Saudi nationals holding commercial pilot licenses, qualifying them to work as first officers at flynas, in line with the company’s operational requirements and approved standards.
