There must has been plenty of women pilots to land there though.
What makes this notable? Is it 'cause their heads are covered?
If you read the article you will see why it is notable.

I did, I still don’t get it. Sorry.
No women are allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, amiright?
Yet there are women pilots from much of the world who I would think had landed there. They would be arrested for driving too, if caught, right?
Nope, I still don’t get it.
Do US service personnel get arrested, I wonder?
I guess because Brunei is also a Muslim Monarchy and yet allows women to fly planes and drive, highlighting the absurdity of Saudi Arabia’s laws.
