‘Born to fly’: trailblazing Indian pilot Zoya Agarwal


Noida (India) (AFP) – India has the world’s highest rate of women aviators but when trailblazing pilot Zoya Agarwal said she dreamed of conquering the skies, her mother cried and told her to find a husband instead. The 40-year-old has enjoyed an illustrious career since gaining her wings in 2004, including her inauguration last year, with an all-female crew, of the longest non-stop Indian commercial flight.
