Zara Rutherford, the youngest woman to fly solo around the world, arrived at the Ratmalana airport today.
The 19-year-old is on her journey to break the Guinness World Records.
She hopes to complete her 51,000-kilometre trip across five continents and 52 countries by mid-January 2022.
Zara Rutherford flew a Shark, which is a high-performance ultralight aircraft manufactured in Europe.
It is incredibly fast with cruising speed reaching 300 km/h. The aircraft has been specially prepared for such a long journey.
The Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana (CIAR) is the 56th stop in her bid to become the youngest woman to fly solo around the world. (NewsWire)
