Flying in Saudi Arabia!
Hi guys, just wanting to find out of there is any work for low time pilots in Saudi. Got some family moving out there and thought it would be a good opportunity to build hours.

Having been in the Sand Pit for the last nine years I have a reasonable idea of what is going on there. Try the NetJets Middle East, you will need an FAA licence with some jet time, so how low is low time ? As for moving with family, you will need to be younger than 18 and still going to school. It is one hell of a mission getting into Saudi, but if you can land a position, the company helps.
Don't give up is the motto. Type ratings are most important, there is no piston flying, no recreational flying and no small companies doing charter work like in SA.
