Pak sisters make history by co-flying Boeing 777

Two Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) pilots made history by becoming the first pair of sisters in Pakistan to fly Boeing-777 airplanes at the same time, media reports said. Maryam Masood and Erum Masood are both first officers who fly different planes. 
“There is no known record of two real sisters having flown the same weight category aircraft concurrently,” a PIA spokesman said.
The two sisters flew the plane concurrently from Lahore to Karachi, Manchester, New York and London.
The duo was able to turn their dream into reality after the younger sister recently got her license to travel along her elder sibling. It is reportedly for the first time in the country’s, in fact South Asian history that two real sisters captained a plane such as the Boeing to operate several flights together.
However, Pakistani women have earned honors for the country in the airline chapter, earlier as well. 
In 2015, Marium Mukhtar, a 24-year-old pilot of Pakistan Air Force, was martyred when her training aircraft crashed near Mianwali. In 2006, seven women broke into one of the country’s most exclusive male clubs to graduate as fighter pilots — perhaps the most prestigious job in the powerful military.
