A 23-year-old pilot from Mumbai, Captain Aarohi Pandit, became first woman in the world to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo in a Light Sports Aircraft (LSA). She had started her journey from Wick, Scotland (United Kingdom) and landed her aircraft at Iqaluit Airport, Canada, post a 3,000 km long flight, under extremely bad weather conditions, with short stopovers in Greenland and Iceland. This mission is a part of her ongoing 1-year-long global circumnavigation flight launched with her friend Keithair Misquitta. Aarohi Pandit will return to India by July 30, 2019. Social Access is the not-for-profit-communications firm which organised and sponsored the expedition. This is part of the 'Women Empower (WE) Expedition' and the name of the tiny aircraft is 'Mahi'.
