Teen pilot is youngest woman to fly solo round the world

19-year-old pilot Zara Rutherford has become the youngest woman to fly solo around the world.

She battled adverse weather, visa delays and paperwork restrictions but despite it taking two months longer than expected, she is home.

"The hardest part was flying over Siberia - it was extremely cold and if the engine was to stall I'd be hours away from rescue. I'm not sure I would have survived," Zara said.

Zara Rutherford's adventure started in Kortrijk, Belgium, on 18 August 2021, and ended on 20 January 2022.
