Saudi Airline Flynas launched a groundbreaking initiative to recruit people with disabilities across operational roles, partnering with the Authority for the Care of People with Disabilities (APD). This effort aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s goals for social inclusion and economic empowerment.
The airline collaborated with APD to design tailored recruitment frameworks, ensuring equal opportunities in customer service, logistics, and administrative roles. Flynas CEO Bander Almohanna emphasized, “This initiative reflects our commitment to building a diverse workforce that mirrors Saudi society’s values.”
Building an Accessible Workplace
Flynas redesigned workspaces to include wheelchair-friendly pathways, visual aids, and assistive technologies. The airline also implemented flexible scheduling to accommodate employees’ unique needs, fostering an inclusive environment.
Employees completed workshops on disability etiquette, including sign language for cabin crews and autism awareness programs. APD experts led sessions on effective communication strategies, ensuring seamless interactions with passengers and colleagues.
Aligning with National Vision
This initiative supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives to boost disability employment rates by 25% in key sectors. APD praised Flynas for setting a regional benchmark, urging other businesses to follow suit.
As the first Saudi airline to adopt such measures, Flynas aims to inspire industry-wide change. The initiative underscores the carrier’s focus on sustainable social impact, reinforcing its leadership in corporate responsibility.
Flynas plans to expand training partnerships and introduce mentorship programs for new hires. The airline will also track initiative outcomes through annual impact reports, ensuring continuous improvement.
By prioritizing inclusivity, Flynas strengthens its brand reputation while advancing national progress—a win for both business and society.
