United Airlines Flies 787 Dreamliner With All-Female Crew to World’s Largest Airshow
Earlier this month, United flew a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crewed exclusively by women to the largest airshow in the world, EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI, to symbolize the airline’s commitment to supporting women in aviation.
Joining the pilots and flight attendants on board this historic flight were nearly 100 other women representing a variety of United’s workgroups such as Airport Operations, Inflight Services, Flight Operations, Technical Operations, Network Operations and more
The initiative demonstrates United’s longstanding commitment to supporting women in aviation such as employing the most female pilots of any major airline and as the first and only commercial airline to sponsor an all-female technicians team in the international aerospace skills competition. In 2018, United held Girls in Aviation Day events in a record number of 12 locations around the world and has plans to add even more locations this coming fall.
