Raoul Boughton, a proud Hancock County native, graduated from Hancock High School; which is right across the street from Stennis International Airport.
Raoul’s aviation journey began in 2013 when he joined Million Air Stennis as a Line Service Professional while still in college pursuing a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Mississippi. Although aviation wasn’t his initial career goal, Raoul quickly discovered his passion for the industry, particularly while working under the leadership of Freeman Holdings Group. His dedication and drive soon earned him the position of Senior Shift Leader at Million Air Stennis.
Not one to limit his ambitions, Raoul ventured into entrepreneurship, opening Rah’s Gym in 2017, where he channeled his passion for fitness. After successfully running the business for six years, he sold it in 2023 to dedicate more time to his family and focus on advancing his aviation career.
In 2020, Raoul took on the role of FBO Manager with Southern Sky Aviation, located at Trent Lott International Airport, further honing his leadership skills. However, his heart remained at Stennis International Airport, and in 2022, he returned as the Airport Operations Manager for the Airport Authority. This return marked a significant step toward his ultimate goal of becoming the General Manager at Million Air Stennis, something he had envisioned since first joining the Million Air family. To further culminate his knowledge of the industry, Raoul received his Master of Commercial Aviation from Delta State University in 2024.
Today, Raoul is thrilled to lead as the new General Manager at Million Air Stennis, where it all began. Supported by his wife, Katelyn, and their two children, Ryker and Gemma, Raoul is excited to bring his wealth of experience, passion, and dedication to the team, guiding Million Air Stennis to new heights.
