Malaysia Airlines (MAS) paid homage to the strength, expertise, and leadership of women in aviation during its Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu flight recently.

Flight MH2610 took off with an all-women team, from ground operations to the cockpit. The ground operations included check-in agents, engineers, and security officers.

Malaysia Airlines expressed hope that the flight will inspire colleagues and future aviators to dream bigger and break barriers.

It’s not the first time MAS honoured the women in the company. In 2023, Simple Flying reported that MAS conducted a rare all-women-operated flight MH2520 from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Women were involved throughout the whole process: From check-in to aerobridge handling, aircraft taxing and refueling, including the cabin crew taking care of passengers on board. Captain Noorsazrina Zulkifli and Second Officer Wong Wei Ming piloted the flight.
