Aviation news update – Kenya Airways planning for ‘all ladies’ crews on International Woman’s Day

KENYA AIRWAYS SET FOR ALL LADIES CREW ON WOMEN’S DAY

It is understood from a usually very reliable source that Kenya Airways aka ‘The Pride of Africa’ is planning to honour the International Woman’s Day with ‘all lady flights’, whereby crews on certain flights and aircraft are ‘womanned’ by an entirely female crew in the cockpit and the cabin.

KQ has done that before, amazing many when they came to realise that equal opportunity policies have indeed brought more ladies into the cockpit, away from the traditional role as flight attendants, and KQ now employs a growing number of female pilots, including captains.

I wish all of them a happy Woman’s Day and happy landings, wherever and whenever they cruise the skies over East Africa.
