One of our heroes now is Captain Nevin Darwish. Darwish is a pilot at Emirates and is the first woman of Arab origin to have captained the Airbus A380. Emirates celebrated International Women’s Day by recording the A380’s flight from Dubai to Vienna and back with Darwish captaining the flight and assisted by UAE national Alia Al Muhairi, a First Officer who is currently the youngest Emirati female pilot operating the Emirates A380 aircraft (runtime 02:00).
