What would you think about flying on a plane where the entire crew is female? This remarkable event took place in India on February 27, 2017.
Specifically, India's national airline announced it had set a Guinness World Record with an all-female crew on a round-the-world flight. The Boeing 777 flight took off from Delhi to San Francisco on February 27, covering over 15,000 kilometers across the Pacific Ocean. The plane then returned to its original departure point on March 6, flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition to female pilots and cabin crew, all ground staff, including inspectors, engineers, and air traffic controllers, were also women. This flight was recognized and highly praised by the Guinness World Records.
This event was part of the celebrations for International Women’s Day on March 8, aiming to show respect and support for women's rights. The airline plans to organize more such flights in the future. This initiative is a powerful affirmation that women can succeed in any field, including those traditionally dominated by men.
This effort is one of many by India’s national airline to promote gender equality. In January, the airline announced dedicated seating for solo female travelers on all domestic flights.
This decision followed numerous reports of female passengers being sexually assaulted on planes. Additionally, staff have been equipped with "plastic handcuffs" to handle unruly passengers.
This initiative is commendable and holds significant symbolic meaning for women everywhere.
