Smiling members of Air India's crew, wearing saris and jackets, posed for selfies in San Francisco International Airport last Monday before setting off on the final leg of the trip.

Even the engineers, who certified the aircraft, and air traffic controllers, who cleared its departure and arrival, were women, the company said.
