Asiya’s inspiring aviation journey wins her accolades

Flying from the Srinagar Airport is often not much of a pleasing experience. The security hassles are quite a dampener for any flyer but amid the hectic security checks, there is a rather refreshing sight at the airport terminal. Young and starry-eyed Kashmiri airline executives attending to customers reflecting of the capabilities local youngsters are gifted with that can help them shine in the corporate world. One among these is a youngster known for a spring in her stride and a great insight into customer service in the aviation sector.
From her childhood days in the rather conservative growing up environs of Saudi Arabia, where her father worked as a doctor, to now being a suave corporate executive, a transitory life between Saudi and Kashmir for airliner IndiGo’s Srinagar Airport Operations Manager Asiya Bashir has been a roller coaster ride.
Recently Asiya added a coveted feather to her hat, when she ‘Great Managers Award’ for female category at all-India level.
