National carrier Air India operated four all-women crew flights from Mumbai to different destinations within its domestic routes in tune with the International Women’s Day.
Air India celebrates International Women’s Day every year by organising all-women crew on its select international and domestic routes. This year for the first time, on the world’s longest nonstop flight from Delhi to San Francisco, the entire flight operations right from cockpit crew, cabin crew, check-In staff, doctor, customer care staff to ATC and the entire ground handling from operator, technician, engineer to flight dispatcher and trimmer were handled by women.
On the domestic route, the flights AI 603 from Mumbai to Bangalore, AI 059 from Mumbai to Calicut, AI 669 from Mumbai to Bhubaneshwar via Raipur and AI 611 from Mumbai to Jaipur were operated with all-women crew. All lady passengers were welcomed with roses and badges at the airport.
Air India also held programs for women employees in Mumbai such as a healthcare session by Dr. Pradnya Supe, a session by Bramhakumari on spiritual well-being of women and also held cultural programmes including a fashion show by and for the women employees.
The flag carrier has the biggest women workforce of about 3,800 women employees including women pilots, cabin crew, engineers, technicians, doctors, security personnel and executives.
