Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Hanadi Zakaria al-Hindi (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is the first Saudi woman to become a pilot.
Biography
She was born in Mecca in September 1978. She passed her final exams at the Middle East Academy for Commercial Aviation in Amman, Jordan on 15 June 2005.[1] She has a ten-year contract with Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s Kingdom Holding Company[2][3] as a pilot of his private jet, the Kingdom.
Recognitions
Al-Waleed is considered a proponent for female emancipation in the Saudi world, financed her training[1] and stated on her graduation that he is "in full support of Saudi ladies working in all fields".[2] Al-Hindi became certified to fly within Saudi Arabia in 2014.[4]
Reports highlighted the irony that a Saudi woman is allowed to pilot an aeroplane but may not drive a car (although this has changed in 2017[5]).[2][3] Al-Hindi, however, does not see this as a contradiction.[2]
