Meet Captain Sharifah Czarena and senior first officers Sariana Nordin and Dk Nadiah Pg Khashiem.
On 24 February, they became Royal Brunei Airlines’ first all-female flight crew, piloting a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on flight BI081 from Brunei to Jeddah.
It was a landmark moment for the airline, not least because the female pilots landed into Saudi Arabia – a country where women aren’t even allowed to drive a car (while there isn’t an official law banning women from driving, Saudi clerics argue female drivers ‘undermine social values’).
