Breaking glass

The First Female Pilots in Commercial Aviation

  • About us
  • Breaking glass

At SAS, we are proud to share Breaking Glass — a film by Nicolas Bori and produced by Konrad Steuer, inspired by the true stories of pioneers like Turi Widerøe and Bonnie Tiburzi. These women defied expectations to become the first female pilots in commercial aviation, paving the way for others to follow. Their courage reminds us that every dream begins with bravery. May their story inspire you to reach beyond limits and never stop dreaming.
