Did you know?

In December 1957, a quiet but powerful shift took place in American aviation.

Ruth Carol Taylor was hired by Mohawk Airlines, becoming the first African American stewardess in the United States. She began flying in early 1958, stepping into a role that, until then, had been closed to Black women.

At the time, flight attendants were more than crew members. They were the public image of the airline — expected to embody professionalism, composure, and trust. Airlines enforced strict appearance rules and often hid behind “customer preference” to justify discriminatory hiring. Taylor’s presence in uniform challenged those unwritten rules simply by being visible in the cabin.

Trained as a registered nurse, she met the same qualifications as any other stewardess. What made her hiring historic was not her ability, but the barrier it broke.

Her airline career lasted only a few months, cut short by policies that forced many women to leave the job after marriage. But the impact of her achievement extended far beyond that brief period. Her breakthrough helped open the door for other Black women to enter the profession in the years that followed.

Aviation history often celebrates new aircraft and faster routes. But sometimes the most meaningful milestones are about who was finally allowed on board — and who was finally seen at 30,000 feet.

We had the opportunity today to take a wonderful group from all over the U.S. of scouts around our airport. They learned about different planes, how the runway works, and even got to talk to one of the local pilots! We love being able to share knowledge with our future.

Here's a fun fact for the week!!

The largest airport in the world by size!!

Since 1998, the undisputed largest airport (measured by passenger volume) in the world is the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the USA. What’s more, it continues to grow: in 2017, nearly 104 million passengers were counted. Not to mention that Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta remains the only airport to have reached the 100 million mark. So if you’re big on size, make sure your next connection flies through here. Alternatively, you could check out the next largest airport in China, Beijing Capital International, where the number of passengers (almost 96 million) is higher than Dubai International, with approx. 88 million passengers per year.
