The "Step Ahead of Employment" exhibition will be held this year in three cities, beginning in Riyadh on April 1st-3rd, in Jeddah on April 12th-13th, and in the Eastern Province on April 28th-29th. The exhibition will provide employment opportunities for Saudi women ranging from students in their final years of college to university graduates from all over the Kingdom.

flynas has recently announced an increased percentage of Saudization – 60% – in all departments and managerial positions at the airline, an increase realized through the company's efforts to train and develop young Saudi to work in various administrative and technical fields in the aviation industry, a part of the flynas vision of building a fully competent Saudi workforce.
