Hassana and Husiena, who made history as the first female twin airline pilots in the aviation industry.
Born in Nigeria and currently based in Canada, these remarkable sisters have broken barriers and shattered stereotypes, paving the way for other women to pursue careers in aviation.
Their passion for flying began at a young age, and they both pursued their dreams relentlessly, obtaining their commercial pilot licenses and working as flight instructors before joining one of Canada's top airlines.
Hassana and Husiena's achievement is not just remarkable because they are women, but also because they are twins. They have not only made a mark individually but have also done so as a team, flying side by side in the cockpit.
This is a testament to the strong bond between them and the power of teamwork in achieving a common goal.
