Kenyans had raised complaints saying the they have not seen much of the female pilots after the flagging of of the Kenya Airways direct flight to New York.
Where @ms_koki ? How can the cockpit of the Inaugural #KQDirectFlight #KQNBONYC be full of men like we don’t have an able woman pilot, the first female in Africa? @KenyaAirways how were the pilots chosen and where is Capt. Muli?

Well, I take the pleasure of introducing to you the ladies of the skies. Dream ladies who are conquering the skies and are a great inspiration to other girls who dream to take up similar careers.
Here is the list of the Kenya Airways Dream Girls
- Irene Koki Mutungi
She is a professional pilot who flies for Kenya Airways. She was the first female on the African continent to become certified as a Captain of the Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft.
She was hired by Kenya Airways, as their first female pilot. She was the only female pilot at the airline for the next six years.
Kenya Airways then promoted her to Captain of the B787, making her the first African female Boeing 787 Captain in the world.
Her motivation to become a commercial pilot was developed when she was five years old, by observing her father, a pilot for Kenya Airways at that time.
She currently has a flying experience of over 20 years.
