Kenya Airways fourth B787-8 Dreamliner was flown from the Boeing assembly
plant to Nairobi by an all-female crew with Captain Irene Koki Mutungi at
the controls.
Captain Irene was the first African female B787 Captain to be checked out
worldwide and it was only befitting that she was given the honor to bring
the new bird safely home to Nairobi. This year a further two such aircraft
will be delivered and another three of the current order in early 2015
before the existing options for yet more B787s may be turned into purchases
or leases.
Kenya Airways had in the past, on special occasions like the International
Womens Day, operated flights with all female crews, a sign of changing
times and new opportunities for ladies who have set their mind on flying,
and flying in the cockpit for that matter.
With a rapid fleet expansion over the next 6 8 years, during which Kenya
Airways will more than double the present number of aircraft operated, there
will be openings for pilots and cabin crew of course, in significant numbers
for that matter. For more information about such opportunities click on
