Royal Brunei Airlines’ First All-Female Crew Land Flight In Saudi Arabia

Girl power.

Royal Brunei Airlines celebrated a milestone recently when their first all-female crew flew from Brunei to Jeddah in Saudia Arabia.

Although the all-female flight is a huge achievement, it has highlighted the fact that the women touched down in a country where females are not permitted to drive.

According to The Independent, the flight was undertaken to mark Brunei’s National Day, a holiday which celebrates the country’s independence, on 23 February.

Captain Sharifah Czarena Surainy, Senior First Officer Dk Nadiah Pg Khashiem and Senior First Officer Sariana Nordin flew flight BI081 and the photos have received a huge reaction on social media.
