This included women in roles spanning customer service in the airport such as the passenger duty service manager; ramp operations monitored by the ramp duty controller and ramp operations team leader; technical services carried out by licensed aircraft engineers and technicians; and a myriad of other roles within the flight dispatch, aircraft appearance, crew operations, catering and security teams.
A team of over 75 women from more than 25 nationalities worked on the flight, mirroring the overall diversity within the Emirates Group which employs staff from over 160 nationalities.
