It’s not a first of its kind but it’s still such a rarity to find and experience in the flight industry – an all-female crew.
Air Canada passengers on a November 10 flight from Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Barbados Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) were treated to an all-female crew. Some may say that this is not entirely unique. However, what makes it special for the industry and airline is that the flight operated onboard Air Canada’s Boeing Dreamliner 787-8.
Air Canada AC966 departed Toronto on November 2nd, scheduled to depart at 08:15, eventually leaving the gate at 08:39. The flight traveled southeast, touching down in Barbados at 13:05, 15 minutes ahead of schedule. With a flight time of four hours, and 26 minutes. The flight was operated by the airlines B787-8, registration C-GHQQ.
An airport worker at Grantley Adams International Airport commented about the occasion:
“It’s not a first. It’s just rarely seen especially for a 787. There have been instances in the past where it has occurred, but it’s very infrequent.”
Ever been on a flight like this?
