Captain Zoya Agarwal who commands an all-women team piloting India’s longest non-stop commercial flight from San Francisco to Bengaluru, broke another record in her flight career. She added another feather to her cap this week when she was chosen by the United Nations as its spokesperson for Generation Equality.

However, United Nations also featured India and Air India on International Youth Day to spread awareness among the youth. In an interview with the news agency, ANI Zoya said, “I am so humbled and privileged,” I have represented our country as the flag carrier of Air India on a platform like UN women, which is so close to my heart.” She said that she was honoured to carry the national flag all across the world with “pride and humility”.

Taking her Twitter account Zoya posted “Humbled to be part of @UN_Women with brilliant youth icon @GretaThunberg who Inspires me! The idea of #sustainability and reducing #CarbonFootprint led to the Record all women’s flights over the North Pole turning a new leaf in Aviation History and paving way for a Greener Planet. pic.twitter.com/oududmtM0q”

Captain Zoya Agarwal said that when everyone around tried to dissuade her from achieving what she wanted, she kept believing in herself and stayed focused. She wants to inspire the next generation of women. Speaking to a reporter the captain said, “My dream started when I was eight years old, I wanted to touch the stars,” said Air India pilot Zoya Agarwal while speaking to reporters.

“I come from a place where I was not even allowed to have such dreams,” she said. “I relied on my inner voice which guided me throughout and motivated me to believe that nothing is impossible.” Every woman should dream and believe in themselves to accomplish them, she said, irrespective of the difficulties. “Work hard, stay focused and dedicated, give your 100 per cent but never give up.”
