First All-Female Airport Welcome Team, Courtesy of Cora Cora Maldives

Sunday 6th of February 2022

Manager Rifga heads the innovative island resort’s welcome team comprised of the remarkable ladies; Jamsheedha, Nadheema, and Lomra. Boasting female empowerment, they prove Maldivian women and young girls out there can lead in management positions despite the dominance of men in the industry.

With the assembled team, Cora Cora Maldives shows their prioritization of female empowerment and equality on the way forward. With their great abilities in terms of empathy, precise communication, and networking skills, the all-female airport greeting team have already shown their fantastic value for Cora Cora Maldives and makes guests feel welcome the moment they step off the plane.

Justin Swart, the General Manager of Cora Cora Maldives said, “It’s not easy for women in Male to find good jobs and hopefully we have set the standard, and this will encourage more women to seek employment and managerial roles. The Cora Cora Maldives all-women airport team is excellent at handling the incredibly logistically complex and high-pressure job they face at Velana International Airport. We have received only positive feedback from our guests regarding our ground handling team and are therefore immensely proud of the team who we see as our ambassadors 200km away from the island that is responsible for “the first and last impression” of Cora Cora Maldives.”
