== Early Life and Career ==
Saarah Sabah Hameed Ahmed was born and grew up in Bangalore, Karnataka. After completing a PUC at Jyothi Nivas College, in 2007 Ahmed enrolled in the Paris Air Flight Training School in Vero Beach, Florida. In the post 9/11 period of Islamophobia, most Muslim students were being denied US Visas, but Ahmed had little difficulty obtaining one.
In the traditional community in which she was raised, a woman's responsibility is to her home and children, with few seeking outside jobs without an escort. Ahmed did not initially receive support within the community and her family tried to discourage her,〔 but they relented when she insisted and a friend of her father's who is a pilot with Southwest Airlines offered reassurances.〔 After a year of study and logging 200 flight hours, Ahmed received her commercial pilot's license in 2008.〔 She returned to India and undertook the process to convert her license to an Indian certification, which required both a waiting period and additional training in Lithuania to learn about specific commercial aircraft types.〔 When confronted by Islamophobia or people who are surprised that a "girl can handle a machine that's many times her size," Ahmed often uses humor and tact to diffuse the situation.〔
After completion of her Bachelor of Business Administration and some 1200 flying hours, she was recruited by SpiceJet Airlines in 2010 as a commercial pilot.〔 She was the first Muslim woman to be chosen in the aviation sector and for nearly two years, remained the only female Muslim pilot out of the 600 women employed in the Indian Aviation Industry. Her accomplishment has been inspirational in her community, encouraging other Muslim women to enroll in pilot training and spawning a series of articles as a role model for International Women's Day. She has been an inspiration to two other female Muslim pilots, Fatima Salva Syeda and Ayesha Aziz who are both completing various aspects of their flight training in 2015.
