A South African businesswoman has made history by becoming
the first Black woman to own an airline.
Siza Mzimela is the founder and CEO of #FlyBlueCrane, which
began operating from OR Tambo International Airport in #Johannesburg on
September 1, and the first woman appointed to the International Air Transport
Association’s Board of Directors in 67 years.
According to Mzimela's
LinkedIn profile, Fly Blue Crane promises to offer customers a "much
needed alternative air travel option to various business and leisure
destinations within the Southern African region. "
She is also the founder and Executive Chairperson of Blue
Crane Aviation, an aviation services company with "specific focus on
African airlines," which provides airlines and aviation businesses with
specialist airline consulting, aviation legal services, and aircraft management
services.
