Bander Almohanna’s career at flynas spans nearly the entire modern history of the airline. He joined in 2006 as chief financial officer, became executive vice president in 2008 and took the chief executive role in 2015. That continuity has allowed him to influence not only the carrier’s network, but also its capital structure and operating model.
His background is unusually well suited to that task. Almohanna earned an accounting degree from King Saud University, an MBA from American University and a master’s degree in actuarial mathematics and finance from the University of Michigan. He also completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School. Before joining flynas, he spent approximately 11 years at the Saudi Central Bank in banking supervision and later moved into private business.
