Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal, the chairman of The Kingdom Holding, and the richest man in Saudi Arabia, announced that his company recruited the first Saudi woman to work as a pilot. Prince Al-Waleed told the press that captain Hanadi could be the pilot of his private jet someday.
Earlier this year, the first Saudi female pilot tried to get a job at the government-owned national airline, but they rejected her.
That’s good news for now, but do you think that they will allow her to continue serving as a pilot in a country where women are not allowed to drive a car?
