A Look At The Saudi Women Who Are Dominating The Skies

Happy women history month!

Every March marks Women’s History Month, a time when we step back to acknowledge and honor the countless women who have made history through their achievements and boundary-breaking presence, and those who are still today redefining our world one triumph at a time. As part of celebrating this month, we are looking at two Saudi women who literally aimed for the sky to make their mark as the Kingdom’s first female pilots.

Hanadi Zakaria Al-Hindi, Pilot For KHC

Known as Saudi Arabia’s first female pilot, Hanadi Zakaria Al-Hindi’s piloting career took off with Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s Kingdom Holding Company (KHC), for which she flies the private fleet. In 2005, she passed her final exams at the Middle East Academy for Commercial Aviation in Amman, Jordan, and in 2014, she received her license from the Jeddah-based General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) to fly planes in the Kingdom. Between her first license and second, it was reported by Albawaba.com that Al-Hindi was dedicating her time to teaching others written aviation exam material at the Pilot Training Center (PTC) on Prince Sultan Road in Jeddah.
