Female pilots fly Emirates A380 for International Women's Day | Emirates Airline

Watch Captain Nevin Darwish from Egypt and First Officer Alia Al Muhairi from the UAE fly the iconic Emirates Airbus A380 from Dubai to Vienna for International Women's Day. Captain Darwish is the first woman of Arab origin to have captained the Airbus A380. First Officer Al Muhairi, a UAE national, is currently the youngest Emirati female pilot operating the Emirates A380 aircraft.

[@TheNorbinorbi]

driving a car is more difficult than flying an aircraft.It just looks difficult because its huge and transporting 400 passangers but actually nowdays aircraft fly byitself.With a car you constantly have to look around, shifting gear turn the stearing whiel etc. In airplanes pilots are playing rock papper scissors

[@cheerilicious]

caro kann But when the car has automatic gearbox its much easier!

[@masternexus2]

I am a pilot & I know what it takes to be one. A lot of respect for these female pilots, not just because they got their pilot license. I respect them because they have struggled more than a male pilot to be where they are. I know sometimes families don't support and most of the times people with hate towards them discourage them. Hats off girls, you flew great in strong headwinds of your life.

[@aliaam4567]

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who has supported Captain Nevin and I and for those of you who think we're unworthy thanks if it wasn't for the hate I wouldn't be in the position I am in now. I support women and men to aspire to become whatever they want it just goes to show those with good intentions and who work hard get to where they want to be thanks to everyone once again

[@OhHeyItsShan]

Congratulations! As a guy, I have the utmost respect for you. Ignore the people who bring you down. You are just as capable as anyone else! I always find it really cool when a woman pilot is the captain or first officer when I am flying because the number of female vs male pilots is very low, so I consider it very special! Wishing you all the best in the future!

[@aliaam4567]

You're a star, I wish you all the best and I appreciate the support I hope everything you aim for and want in life comes your way Take care

[@jrkc9218]

Alia Ahmad As a man I find you both inspiring. It's hard to say just how many women, girls and men you will inspire in your lifetime, but that number will be great. Keep up the good work doing what you love!

[@aliaam4567]

Jesse Reece I can't begin to explain the joy of having such this much support and I do stand for equality between women and men, but I also do support men as much as I support women, and I hope you accomplish whatever you have your mind set to. Thanks Jesse

Hi Alia, Congratulations on your very well deserved success. Fantastic to see this video and always good to see how our former students are progressing . It was a privilege to fly with you at Oxford some 3 years ago, and just amazing to see how much you have achieved. Keep going! Nick.

[@Airlineguy786RAHS]

It's sickening to be reading comments which condemn these two inspirational role models for a career they've undoubtedly worked excessively hard for. I personally hope to fly for Emirates when the time comes (although I hastily admit I'd prefer the 777 over the A380) and couldn't be more proud of the airline. Female pilots are becoming common in the flight deck of modern aircraft and it's fantastic! I for one appluad this video, and more importantly, to the pilots in it.
