Few things demonstrate expertise and leadership qu

Few things demonstrate expertise and leadership quite like piloting a 553,000-pound jet bearing 250-odd passengers from the Middle East to one of the roughly 80 destinations Etihad Airways (@etihad)-the national airline of the UAE-reaches daily.The first officer of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner commands not just a powerful aircraft, but the formidable array of onboard technology that makes it an industry leader in fuel efficiency, some of which is just beginning to transform flying.

Aya Saleh Alaudhli is one of the first Etihad cadet pilots to successfully complete “base training” on a Dreamliner in its Multi-Crew Pilot License program.
Her timing was impeccable. On August 28, the UAE celebrates Emirati Women’s Day, an annual commemoration that H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak-the mother of the nation-introduced in 2015 to promote gender equality regionally, and to empower and support women in the Emirates.

As the UAE celebrates the women from various fields who are leading the nation into the future, its themes seem especially apt for First Officer Alaudhli, who represents an exciting new chapter in aviation-one in which aircraft engine supplier GE Aerospace (ge_aerospace) has been instrumental.

“I’d wanted to become a pilot since very early in my school years, but in my mind, it didn’t seem possible,” says Alaudhli. “Ever since I was a young kid traveling with my family, I was always fascinated with the airplane. I always wanted to know everything about it.” Her parents were always supportive, and when Alaudhli saw some applications at a high school career fair, she took a chance. “I was like,
‘Why not pursue it and see how it goes?’” she recalls.

She filled out every application, sat forevery exam, and took each successive step toward a dream that she soon realized “was what 1 was really passionate about,” she adds. “I only wanted to do this.” From here, she says her journey was uneventful. “Not that it wasn’t challenging,” she clarifies. “I just really enjoyed every part of it. I believe that when you’re doing something from your heart, it becomes relatively easy. Even when you’re learning something hard.”

In the UAE, transportation is undergoing a transfo

In the UAE, transportation is undergoing a transformation that reflects the country’s wider ambition to become a leader in sustainability. The nation has made substantial strides in reducing its carbon footprint by promoting the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and expanding the necessary infrastructure to support them.

Amid this shift, the number of electric vehicles on the roads has increased significantly, surpassing over 40,000. This surge is a testament to the government’s policies and incentives aimed at encouraging the transition to cleaner energy.
Initiatives such as subsidies for EV purchases, exemption from tolls, and free parking for electric vehicles have played a crucial role in this growth.

Moreover, the UAE has invested heavily in creating a robust network of charging stations to facilitate the use of electric vehicles. There are now more than 870 charging stations across the country, ensuring that EV owners have convenient access to power, whether they are in urban areas or on highways.

These charging stations are strategically located to cover a wide range of locations, making the transition to electric vehicles more appealing to the general public.
