An all-female crew took to the African skies yesterday, and celebrated by posting a couple of photos to Facebook page, Women in Aviation.
Captain Denise Semedo – who spent six years based at Lanseria Airport outside Joburg, South Africa – said: “All-female crew today on the Phenom 300. Praise the Lord!”
Captain Semedo told SAPeople it was the first time that she and fellow female pilot, Captain Funmilayo, were flying together.
The two female captains work for Anap Jets, the private jet operator that specialises in fractional ownership and charter services. On this particular flight they flew from Lagos to Abuja in Nigeria.
Captain Semedo says that when she was growing up, her “inspiration was my uncle who was a B757 captain. I didn’t know I could do it. I guess the Lord gives each one a talent we just have to find it.” Now it’s her turn inspiring young women all over Africa and the world – the sky’s the limit!
Captain Semedo was based at Lanseria Airport between 2010 and 2016, working for a different company at the time.
