Lifting the ban
The long standing ban on women driving was recently lifted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and this was praised by the entire globe (“Authorities dismiss claim woman drove into Saudi Arabia from Kuwait”, Gulf News, October 6). This shows that women are playing an important role. It is evident that lifting the ban indicates they will also be given an opportunity in other areas from the government. This new policy will save a lot of money for women, as they were engaging male drivers for commuting to office and other places. This will boost confidence for women, to enter the aviation industry, as the government has already announced the provision of scholarships for training pilots. In the coming days, Saudi Arabia will be more visible on the global map. Good move from Saudi Arabia.
