In a first for national carrier SAA, an all-female intercontinental
flight took to the skies to transport people between South Africa and São
Paulo, Brazil. In the airlineˇ¦s 84 year history, this flight is the
first of its kind to be operated by a female crew ˇV both in the cockpit and
cabin.
Steering or rather flying the plane, was 53-year-old Captain Jane Trembath
and sheˇ¦s encouraging women and girls to never give up and aim sky high.
SAA has 69 female pilots. Six are captains and there are 114 female aircraft
technicians.
In an industry dominated by men, these women are proving that theyˇ¦re a
force to be reckoned with, as they soar to greater heights.
