Dubai International Airport has welcomed the civilian pilot, Shaesta Waiz, who is attempting to become the youngest woman in history to fly solo around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old began her journey in Daytona Beach International Airport on May 13, and has embarked on a 90-day journey to 18 countries on five continents with 30 stops.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Waiz is the first certified civilian female pilot from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
She’s promoting \u00a0science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and aviation education to the next generation on her trip, which is led by Dreams Soar – a non-profit organisation founded by Waiz in 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n
