Almost women-only crew fly from European cities to New York in commemoration of International Women'
5 flights of the Lufthansa Group with 63 female and one male crew member will depart Frankfurt, Munich, Geneva, Vienna, and Brussels for New York.
Lufthansa, SWISS, and Brussels Airlines flights will have women-only crews, while on Austrian Airlines flight OS087, all but one crew member will be female.
Speaking on the move, Dr Bettina Volkens, Member of the Executive Board, Chief Officer of Corporate Human Resources and Legal Affairs of Deutsche Lufthansa AG said she hoped "in the future, more young women will take an interest in careers that up until recently have been considered a male domain."

Lufthansa has long championed the cause of women in the cockpit, as female pilots have flown scheduled service with the airline since 1988, while 2010 saw a debut in the worldwide air cargo sector when a Lufthansa cargo aircraft took off with a women-only crew.
