Havana, February 22 (RHC)-- This year, Air France will celebrate International Women's Day on 8 March with a select flight to Havana featuring an all-women crew.

"This year we chose the Cuban capital for this flight," Antoinette Zullo, Air France-KLM general manager for Cuba and the Dominican Republic, told national television.

Women can do the same work as men, and this trip is a sign of that, she stressed. Havana is a very important destination for the Air France-KLM alliance because we want to participate in the tourism development of the island, she said.

Zullo said that in 2019 the company transported more than 350,000 passengers to and from the Cuban capital. 

To celebrate International Women's Day, Air France has made similar flights in previous years to Tokyo, Beijing, Mumbai, and New York, among other cities.
