Family works flight together on KLM airlines
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Michel de Bruijn, a 57-year-old captain for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, flew a commercial flight to Curaçao, a Caribbean island, alongside his 22-year-old daughter Zoë de Bruijnová, a pilot, and his 55-year-old wife Marjan van Nooijenová, a flight attendant.
The family members did not know they would be working on the same flight on August 13. Zoë followed in her father’s footsteps after becoming fascinated with his career as a pilot when she was young.
She excelled in math and science and was accepted into the KLM flight academy at age 17, a year earlier than most applicants. Michel had expressed a wish to work with his daughter, but the family considered it a surprise when all three of them were scheduled on the same flight. The family had previously met while working on a flight, and Zoë felt the recent experience completed a circle for them.
She had already flown five times with her father and once with her mother before this recent flight.
