Hera Shabbir

South India has officially achieved a MAJOR milestone for operating a female-only flight from Kerala to Saudi Arabia!

The cabin crew, pilots, and 145 passengers were all female!


The flight was operated by Air India Express, which flew in from Kozhikode to Jeddah on Thursday night. The passengers were actually part of a 4,000-member group traveling together for Hajj, and will be joined with their fellow-travelers on arrival. The flight was operated in order to ease travel for the women passengers traveling for the holy pilgrimage. Thousands of pilgrims are flying into Jeddah on a daily basis because of the Hajj 2023 season, and Air India made history while doing it!
