This special flight, carrying 145 women pilgrims, was entirely managed by an all-women crew in all critical flight operations roles, supporting the Haj Committee of India‘s groundbreaking initiative to have only women passengers on board, it said.
The first all women Haj flight, IX 3025, departed from Kozhikode to Jeddah at 18.45 IST on Thursday, arriving in Jeddah at 22.45 local time, according to the airline.
