Aluel Bol Aluenge

Aluenge defied all odds by becoming a pilot in the airline industry after living as a refugee in Kenya during the ethnic and political conflict of South Sudan. She holds the distinction of being the first female South Sudanese pilot working for Ethiopian Airlines and Fly Dubai. In February 2018, she rose from her position as a commercial pilot to a captain, flying for Delta Airlines.
