Captain Aarohi Pandit (age 23 years) becomes first Woman Pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo in a Light Sports Aircraft (LSA).
This achievement is part of her ongoing Women Empower Expedition in the tiny aircraft called ‘Mahi’. This one year-long global circumnavigation flight was launched with her friend Captain Keithair Misquitta on 30th July and both began their trip in August 2018.
Both flew over Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, then to Pakistan, where they landed and after-that went onto to Iran, Turkey, Serbia, Slovenia, Germany, France, and the UK.
After an exhausting 3,000Km long flight she landed her tiny aircraft at Iqaluit Airport in Canada. After clocking a flight of about 37,000Km she is scheduled to return home by 30th July 2019.
