According to aviation experts, flying over the North Pole is extremely technical and requires skill and experience.

"The thrill of actually realising that you will be passing the North pole where the compass will flip 180 degrees, something which is fascinating indeed," Captain Zoya added.

Air carriers usually send their best and most experienced pilots to fly through the North Pole as it is a challenging route.

Agarwal was also the youngest woman pilot to fly a Boeing-777 in 2013.
