In a groundbreaking achievement for Pakistan’s aviation sector, an all-female crew successfully managed the ground operations of an international flight at Karachi Airport for the first time.
Gerry’s dnata, a leading ground-handling services provider in Pakistan, announced on Friday that it had launched the country’s inaugural Women-Led Flight (WLF) operation.
