On January 9, an all-female Flying Iɴᴅɪᴀ pilot team will travel the world’s longest air route, passing over the North Pole while traveling over 16,000 kilometers from San Francisco (SFO) to Bengaluru.

On January 9, AI Captain Zoya Agarwal and her team are anxious to make history. Agarwal will be in charge of the flight.
Most individuals will never see the North Pole in their lifetime, let alone its map.

A rare chance to pilot the first Boeing 777 SFO-BLR aircraft over the North Pole, one of the world’s longest flights, “ANI was told by Captain Zoya Agarwal.

An all-female pilot crew will fly over the North Pole for the first time, making some kind of history in the process. Indeed, it’s every pilot’s desire to fly commercially.
Aviation experts say it’s incredibly complex and takes ability and experience to fly over the North Pole. The excitement of truly realizing that you will pass the North Pole, where the compass will flip 180 degrees, was soᴍᴇᴛʜing Captain Zoya described as amazing. She was the youngest wOᴍᴀɴ pilot to fly a Boeing 777 in 2013, thus the longest flight over the North Pole will be another accomplishment for her.
I operate a Boeing 777 and am the world’s youngest female comᴍᴀɴder. Despite cultural pressure, women should have confidence in themselves and not view any work as unattainable “She spoke. She will fly above the North Pole as Air Iɴᴅɪᴀ’s first female flight comᴍᴀɴder. Although Air Iɴᴅɪᴀ pilots have flown over the polar route before, a crew of female pilots will be the first to do so.
