Qatar Airways Cargo: an all-women crew
Qatar Airways Cargo celebrated a landmark flight on Sunday, 5 March 2023, as its scheduled Boeing 777 freighter from Doha to Shanghai was operated entirely of a crew of made up of women.
From the ground staff overseeing and handling the cargo to the flight deck crew operating the flight, this is the first time a Qatar Airways Cargo freighter aircraft has operated with an all-female crew and all-female ground staff.
Elisabeth Oudkerk, senior vice president cargo sales and network planning: “As a woman who has been working in the industry for over 20 years, I am proud to see the great strides females have made in the field of aviation and air cargo. It is an industry that has so many opportunities and so many varied roles, I encourage any woman looking for a career in this industry to pursue her dream.” (cj)
