Meet Rwanda’s First Female Pilot Who Takes To The Sky At Age 24

“Growing up I wanted to be a pilot when I was four,” says Mbabazi, who became a pilot for Rwanda’s national airline carrier, RwandAir, at 24. “I’d never been inside a cockpit but I used to see a plane in the sky and I imagined that thing must be flown by someone.

…..”I had to go for it. Even though it looked like a long shot, it was my only shot — that’s how I saw it so I went for it, and here I am.”

……Mbabazi recalls a previous incident where a passenger realized that the pilot for his flight was a woman shortly after arriving at the gate and refused to get on the flight.

“The cabin crew said we’ll gladly leave you behind. You’ve already paid the ticket, so if your reason is that basic and shallow, it’s not because of safety reasons. It’s just because you don’t want to fly with a woman, we’ll gladly leave you behind.”
