All-female crews take to the skies: Wizz Air marks International Women’s Day with special flights
Low-cost airline Wizz Air once again marked International Women’s Day by operating a series of flights staffed entirely by women, continuing a tradition launched in 2022.
This year, the airline ran ten such flights across Europe on 8 March, highlighting the growing role of women in aviation and encouraging more to pursue careers in the sector, AIRportal.hu reported.
Women at the controls across Europe
The special flights took place in ten countries, including Hungary, the United Kingdom and Germany. In total, around 70 female pilots and cabin crew members volunteered to operate the services together, demonstrating the increasing presence of women in an industry that has historically been male-dominated.
One of the featured flights departed from Budapest, where Captain Irén Csertő and First Officer Szabina Nyers were responsible for the cockpit. They were supported by an all-female cabin crew team of five flight attendants: Patrícia, Veronika, Réka, Nadiah and Nikolett.
