Flynas to hire Saudi female co-pilots

Flynas said it will soon start recruiting Saudi women to work as co-pilots as the country loosens gender restrictions to bolster economic growth.

The Riyadh-based airline said it will be the first among Saudi carriers to recruit women in senior positions. The move aims to enable Saudi women to have a greater role in supporting the economy, CEO Bandar Al Mohanna said in a statement. (Bloomberg)
