Over 260 women passengers were in for a memorable treat onboard Air India Express and Air India on March 8 this year.
Celebrating Women's Day, all women passengers flying out of Dubai and Sharjah Airport were provided with priority check-in, priority seats and priority boarding. Furthermore, the airline also operated with an all-women crew across the globe, including UAE and India.
"Four Air India Express flights from Dubai to Mangalore, Delhi, Kochi and Mumbai were operated by all women commanders and cabin crew", said Saket Saran, the Country Manager of Air India and Air India Express.
The Air India Express flight Dubai to Kochi was operated by cockpit crew, captains Chameli Krottapalli and Gangurde Manjiri assisted by cabin crew Surya Sudhan, Amala Johnson, Lethika Rajand Anisha K.A.
He added, "The flights operated out of Terminal 2 Dubai Airport, were headed by a lady airport manager Priya Kannan. We decided to make it a memorable occasion for all the women flyers."
Saran added, "Instead of offering lady passengers a conventional rosebud, women travellers were also treated to a specially designed greeting card and a pack of chocolates. "
Similar arrangements were made for women passengers travelling on Air India Express flights from Sharjah.
