NEW DELHI: One of the world's longest non-stops, Delhi-San Francisco (SFO), will be a few of the 12 major global flights during which Air India will perform with an all-women staff on Friday, Women's Day. These come with direct flights from Delhi to SFO, New York, Chicago, Washington, Sydney-based, Rome, London, Paris and from Mumbai to New York, Newark, London and Shanghai.
"Seldom has a single airline scheduled so many flights - operated by its women employees - setting a benchmark to reiterate the equal role and opportunity women rightly deserve in any organisation," AI said in a observation.
AI chairman Ashwani Lohani's said: "Every person and the society should recognize females. It is a second of absolute pleasure and honour for Air Indians that our females workers are leaving their mark in the aviation sector on an international scale. I want to congratulate our females staff for running so many flights on various global and home routes fuelled through their indomitable nari shakti.”
AI, and plenty of different Indian carriers, will be running home and global flights to within reach locations with all-women staff on Friday. AI will perform 40 such home flights.
Air India will be deploying its B787 Dreamliners and B777s to perform to 12 global medium and long-haul flights operated through females pilots and attended through females cabin staff to rejoice the Women’s Day. For these kinds of flights, the technical products and services will be equipped through girl aircraft engineers, technicians, flight dispatchers, duty managers, counter team of workers, helpers and medical doctors.
"Air India’s foray into all-woman staff flights dates again to November 1985 when an all-woman cockpit staff operated a Fokker Friendship flight from Kolkata to Silchar. In fact, Air India’s wealthy legacy of girl pilots and commanders had began way back in 1956 when Captain Durba Banerjeewas inducted as the primary girl industrial pilot of Air India (erstwhile Indian Airlines)," the airline said, adding, "AI had earlier created historical past through running the around-the-world flight on Delhi-SFO-Delhi sector. The continuous flight from Delhi to San Francisco travelled by the use of the Pacific Ocean and returned by the use of the Atlantic Ocean finishing a spherical travel of the world."
