Ethiopian Airlines Dispatches All-Female Crew For Historic Flight To Mark International Women’s Day

Ethiopian Airlines dispatched an all women crew from Addis Ababa to Buenos Aires to mark the International Women’s Day, which is today, March 8.

Addis Standard news portal shared the story on Twitter and said the crew will be operating the B787 Dreamliner. It is not the first time Africa’s top flier has dispatched an all women crew. In December 2017, they made history by sending one such team on an intra-Africa trip from Addis Ababa to Lagos.

An all-women team means the entire flight management team comprised of women: from the pilots and cabin crew to in-flight ramp operations as well as flight dispatchers on the ground.
