Saudi Arabia’s national carrier Saudia has celebrated the full replacement of foreign co-pilots with Saudis, as the kingdom is seeking to employ more of its citizens.
“It is a historic day in the life of an institution that is more than 75 years old,” the airline said.
The carrier, which flies to a worldwide network of destinations, offered thanks to its former co-pilots of different nationalities whom it said has contributed to its long development.
