Malaysia Airlines makes history with all-women flight team

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Malaysia Airlines (MAS) made history when Flight MH2610 from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu took off with an all-women team, from ground operations to the cockpit.

From check-in agents, engineers and security officers to cabin crew and pilots, every stage of the journey was handled entirely by women, reflecting the strength, expertise, and leadership of women in aviation.

“With women now making up 36 per cent of Malaysia Aviation Group’s workforce, surpassing the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) 25by2025 initiative, this milestone marks not just progress, but a powerful reminder that the sky has no limits,” the airlines said in a Facebook post yesterday.

MAS added that it hopes today’s flight will inspire colleagues and future aviators to dream bigger and break barriers.
