Captain Taghreed’s Testimony (2020)
“Being of a contrary nature, the chance words of a school career advisor telling me that flying aircraft is only for men determined my career path. To this day I cannot thank that narrow minded lady enough!!
From the moment I approached Royal Jordanian to be considered for their cadet program & throughout my career I had the support of HM KIng Hussein who believed in supporting young people to achieve their dreams regardless of gender.
Wishing you many happy flights. Stay safe!”
