Dina Dawod (Trailblazer)

With a dream of traveling the world Dina became an air hostess. With each flight she was pulled toward the cockpit. It wasn’t long after she left her family behind and went to America to become a pilot. What makes her story unique is that Dina is from Egypt, and when she went to America her dream turned into the most challenging times of her life. Some might call a nightmare, but not Dina. From living through a plane crash, and then treated as a terrorist, she never quit. Today she flies as a first officer on the A320 for a corporate company in Egypt. Dina has been a member of the 99s for 4 years under the Arabian Section. She is the first Arab and African female pilot who got the scholarship from the 99s organization. Dina is now a member of the African Section and Vice Governor.
