Surat: An all-women flight to Bhavnagar from Surat and back to mark the International Women's Day on Sunday by Diamond Aeronautics, a local airline carrier, empowered many women in its own small way. This is because the passengers aboard the nine seat Cessna Caravan flown by Captain Rasleen Brar and Captain Sonam Jadhav were five housewives and four other young women from the city who had never been on an aircraft before.
The women passengers came from humble backgrounds.
"Our group believes in empowerment of women and promoting girl child. We wanted to express thanks to our country's womenfolk and thus thought of arranging a joyride for a few of them to Bhavnagar in our aircraft. This flight was also to show that given an opportunity, girls can do wonders," said Diamond Aeronautics CEO K Kartikeyen. The company has been promoted by four diamond barons of the city.
