Aeromexico celebrated the recent International Women’s Day by confirming its commitment to gender equality in its operations.
In 2015, Aeromexico flew the first transcontinental flight in the history of aviation with only female pilots and flight attendants, from Mexico City to Shanghai. The carrier has confirmed its commitment for the second year in a row by operating flights with only female crews to domestic and international destinations such as Guatemala, Houston, Lima, Madrid, Monterrey, Montreal, New York, Puerto Vallarta and Tokyo. The airplanes used to operate these flights include Embraer 190, B737, B777 models, and the B787 Dreamliner.
Aeromexico’s Executive Director of Talent and Institutional Relations Sergio Allard said the carrier will continue its global efforts to break down myths and prejudices about women in aviation. “The role women play in our company, definitely contributes to the carrier positioning itself as Mexico’s global airline as it continues to put Mexico’s name on high across the globe.”
Allard said Aeromexico is using the #MujeresVuelanAlto hashtag in honor of the power, influence and relevance women play in each of the airline’s actions, achievements, and plans, and as an expression of its appreciation for the support and commitment of its female employees.
