Tuesday, October 25 was a historic day at SAA when for the first time, two black African female pilots operated a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
Captain Annabel Vundla, the airline’s first black African female captain, and First Officer Refilwe Moreetsi, its first black African Management Pilot, who is also responsible for fatigue risk management, operated the flight.
SAA Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer John Lamola said: “This is a milestone in the transformation of our national carrier. The airline continues to show leadership in transforming the aviation sector and overcoming inequalities in scarce skills and employment opportunities.”
