Two sisters make history by piloting PIA’s ‘Boeing’ together

Author: Agencies

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan International Airline (PIA) is usually embroiled in controversies but two women brought laurels to the national carrier by operating several flights together.

Maryam Masood and Erum Masood made history on Tuesday as they flew the coveted Boeing-777 aircraft to several local and international destinations together, local TV channel reported. The two sisters flew the plane concurrently from Lahore to Karachi, Manchester, New York and London.

The duo was able to turn their dream into reality after the younger sister Irum recently got her license to travel along her elder sibling. It is reportedly for the first time in the country’s, in fact South Asian history that two real sisters captained a plane such as the Boeing to operate several flights together. However, Pakistani women have earned honours for the country in the airline chapter, earlier as well.
