Yasmeen Muhammad al-Maimani has become the second Saudi woman to obtain a commercial pilot license from the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
Hanadi Zakaria Al-Hindi was the first Saudi woman to become a commercial airline pilot, getting a license to fly within Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
Capt. Al-Maimani got the private pilot license in 2010 from Jordan.
"My dream is to fly an airplane in the Kingdom. I hope the Saudi Arabian Airlines gives me this chance now that I've been properly licensed by the GACA," Al-Maimani said.
In 2010, Al-Maimani returned to the Kingdom and worked for Rabigh Wings Aviation Academy for a year. She got an offer later from Aerosim Flight Academy in US to be their ambassador to the Middle East. The academy also gave her a scholarship to study and obtain the auto commercial pilot license. She accepted the offer and traveled to Florida.
Later she returned to the Kingdom and worked for Nexus Company for flight operation services.
She passed the GACA examination.
