UAE female pilots take to the skies
Dubai (PTI): Two UAE women are set to make aeronautical history as they prepare to become the first female UAE pilots to take to the skies.
Salma Mohammad Al Baloushi from Al Ain and Aisha Hassan Al Mansouri from Khor Fakkan said they cannot wait to graduate as pilots for UAE carrier Etihad Airways. "We are very proud to be representing the female population in the UAE."
"I was studying to be a nurse, but something just didn't feel right. I didn't have a real passion for what I was doing and that made studying to become better hard work. It made me stop and look at life and I decided to follow my childhood dream of becoming a pilot. I am hard-working and have found a passion in life again," said Salma.
Aisha was inspired to become a pilot after a zero gravity experience at the Al Ain Airshow. "I loved being up in the sky and knew instantly that I wanted to become a pilot. My family is so proud of what I am doing," she said.
