Women set new record in Pakistan aviation history
(Updated at 2130 PST)
ISLAMABAD: A woman pilot and an all female crew made aviation history in Pakistan this week by flying a Fokker aircraft on a domestic flight of the national flag carrier,
officials said Sunday.
Captain Ayesha Rabia took off from the capital Islamabad on Wednesday on a Pakistan International Airline flight to the central city of Multan via Lahore with 40 passengers aboard, PIA spokesman Mohammad Latif said.
"This is the first time in Pakistan aviation history that a woman pilot with all female crew flew a commercial plane in Pakistan," Latif told.
Her co-pilot was also a woman, he added. The surprised passengers had no idea about the all-female crew until the plane landed at Allama Iqbal International airport in Lahore, where the pilot and the crew were garlanded by the ground staff as they alighted.
Rabia had been co-pilot for 15 years with 6,000 flying hours to her credit before she got the opportunity to fly on her own, PIA officials said.
"It was a great experience and great feeling," Rabia told.
"I have been flying as a co-pilot for the last 15 years and it was my dream to fly the aircraft on my own. I feel very competent. Now I dream to fly an Airbus and a Boeing.
"I feel very proud and happy that women in the country are able to achieve their goal," she added.
other wise God help the fokker !
