At 6 feet, Christine Debouzy stands tall. The president of the Association of Women Pilots Association in France was at Alliance Francaise of Hyderabad, interacting with students and enthusiasts.
This is Christine’s second visit to Hyderabad. During her first trip in February 2020, she had visited the city’s prominent landmarks, Charminar and Chowmahalla Palace. “I loved eating biryani at Meridian Cafe,” she smiles. Back then, Christine was in India to meet Dr Harpreet A. De Singh, the president of the Indian Women Pilots Association, and also oversee the work to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The MoU would open “A new France chapter of IWPA (The Indian Women Pilots’ Association) and International Women Professionals in Aviation & Aerospace (IWPAA) to cooperate and work for more women in aviation and space.”
