Ethiopian Airlines has made history again with an all-female crew on its inaugural flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
On International Women’s Day, the all-female crew operated and flew the iconic B787 Dreamliner from Addis Ababa to Buenos Aires, which marked a remarkable, empowering, and inspirational first for the airline.
The flight crew consisted of women from the pilots and cabin crew to in-flight ramp operations, as well as flight dispatchers on the ground.
The airline had previously made history with an all-female crew on a flight from Addis Ababa to Bangkok, Thailand.
Speaking at the launch of the airline’s five weekly flights to Buenos Aires, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Tewolde GebreMariam, said, “To mark this important occasion and as part of our commitment to mainstreaming gender into our core business, we have made the inaugural flight on 8 March an all-women-operated flight.”
