Today's airline pilots: Female Captain aged 26 with F/O 19 years old

While many wish to write "young high-flyer" on their CV, for Kate McWilliams it's simply a matter of fact.

Aged just 26, the easyJet pilot is believed to be the youngest in the world to become a commercial airline captain.

On one recent flight, she and her co-pilot had a combined age of just 45.

The recently-promoted Miss McWilliams flew last week from Gatwick to Malta alongside Luke Elsworth, who earlier this year became the UK's youngest pilot at 19 years old.
