New York didn’t whisper a welcome, it roared.
Landed in NYC after the blizzard.Moments like these remind me why I love aviation. Respect to every crew member out there keeping the system moving when nature tests us.
Winter flying is not for the fainthearted. ❄️🛫🧑🏽✈️#Girlsfly

Came home after a 15 hour flight and found my little one unwell. The nanny captured this. We fell asleep just like this. No matter the day, mummy duty first. Still on duty❤️✈️🌺 #Girlsfly
Every conversation, every question, every spark of curiosity from the next generation affirms the beauty of pouring into others. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share, listen, and learn, because growth flows both ways. A time was had #Girlsfly #Mentorship 🧑🏽✈️✈️

Honoured to be part of the upcoming “C-Level Kenya” panel, When Giants Rise, taking place on 9th August at The Social House Nairobi.
I’ll be joining an incredible lineup of leaders across sectors as we explore the theme: “Rising in the Face of Adversity.”
Grateful for the opportunity to share insights from the flight deck and beyond and to engage in meaningful dialogue that inspires resilience, leadership, and growth.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow professionals and change makers. Let’s rise together. 🧑🏽✈️✈️

Today, we celebrate Pastor Nuru from the Finance department as she retires after an incredible 40 years—just one month shy of this remarkable milestone! Her dedication, integrity, and unwavering faith have touched countless lives, including mine—she’s known me since I joined the airline at 19 years old.
Beyond her professional excellence, Pastor Nuru has been a source of spiritual encouragement and wisdom, always reminding us to walk in faith and grace @KenyaAirways

Empowering the Future of Aviation
A powerful session at #SkyTeamRISE as George Kamal, Captain Irene Mutungi, and SkyTeam CEO Patrick Roux shared their insights on leadership, resilience, and breaking barriers in aviation.
Peter encouraged the RISE women to embrace the journey ahead, reminding them that "It's not about perfection, but continuous improvement."
Aviation is evolving, and these conversations are shaping the future!
