بطاقم نسائي فقط.. إتمام أول رحلة طيران سعودية
في خطوة تعتبر الأولى في تاريخ البلاد نفذت شركة الطيران السعودية "آديل" أول رحلة لها بطاقم نسائي بالكامل يوم الخميس الماضي بين العاصمة الرياض وجدّة.

Saudi women in recent years achieved great success in making a mark in the labor market, filling jobs that were the preserve of male workers in the previous years; these included train drivers, delivery drivers, and chefs.
This huge development in the kingdom is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 which is a strategic framework to reduce Saudi dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism.
