  庆3.8:印度民航首推“全女子航班”环游世界

  An Indian airline says it has made the first passenger journey around the world operated by an all-women crew.

  印度一家航空公司称,其首次推出了全女子航班的环游世界之旅。

  The Air India flight departed from New Delhi to San Francisco on Monday and returned to the Indian capital on Friday.

  这趟航班从印度首都新德里飞往美国旧金山,周一出发,周五返回。

  The Boeing 777 flew over the Pacific Ocean on its trip to the US, while its return flight was over the Atlantic, encircling the globe, the company said.

  据这家公司称,该波音777客机飞越太平洋到达美国,又从大西洋返回印度,环地球一周。

  Air India says it has applied for an entry on the Guinness World Record.

  这家印度航空公司称,已经申请了吉尼斯世界纪录。

  Check-in and ground handling staff, the engineers who certified the aircraft and the air traffic controllers who authorised the departure and arrival of the plane were also all women, the company said.

  公司表示,办理值机手续、地面勤务、具备认证的飞行员、授权飞机起飞和降落的塔台管控工作等,全由女性完成。

  Air India says it will operate other flights with all-women teams as part of International Women’s day, celebrated on 8 March of every year.

  印度航空公司称,它还将在每年的3月8日当天安排一些其他的全女子航班以庆祝国际妇女节。

  In January, the company started selling female-only seat sections after reports some women were being groped by other passengers.

  1月份,在有报道称一些女性遭到其他顾客的骚扰后,该公司就开始出售仅女性机票。
