AI flight with
all-woman crew eyes record
In a quest to set a
new world record, Air India has operated a flight around the world with an
all-woman crew ahead of International Women’s Day.
The flight, which
departed from here on February 27 for San Francisco, landed at the Indira
Gandhi International airport on 3rd March after flying across the globe.
The aircraft, a
Boeing 777-200LR, flew over the Pacific on its journey to San Francisco, while
the return flight flew over the Atlantic, encircling the globe, Air India
sources said.
The airline has applied for a Guinness World Record and an
entry in the Limca Book of Records to mark the feat.
The cockpit and
cabin crew, check-in and ground handling staff, and the engineers who certified
the aircraft were all women, Air India said. It added that the Air Traffic
Controllers who cleared the departure and arrival of the aircraft were also
women.
As part of the
celebrations for International Women’s Day, which is observed on March 8 every
year, the airline will operate similar flights on some domestic and
international routes.
