New Delhi: To mark International Women's Day, national carrier Air India today operated four 'all-women crew' flights to international and domestic destinations, with one flown by two pilots who were also part of the maiden such feat in the world way back in 1985.
On the international network, the two such flights were operated on Delhi-Melbourne and Mumbai-Muscat-Mumbai routes. While, AI806 Mumbai-Delhi and AI475 Delhi-Jodhpur-Mumbai were the flights operated by the all-women crew on the domestic routes.
History repeated itself as the Delhi-Melbourne flight AI302 (B-787) was operated by two of the same cockpit crew who had operated the world's first all-women crew flight 30 years ago in 1985, on the then Calcutta to Silchar flight with a Fokker Friendship aircraft on the erstwhile Indian Airlines.
