World’s tallest woman Rumeysa Gelgi
Amazing: World’s tallest woman Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey who is 7 ft 1inch inch tall is able to travel for the first time on a plane. 6 economy seats were removed to fit her in the plane. 😲
Rumeysa Gelgi, 24 years, 7 feet 0.7 inches tall, the tallest woman in the world, had never previously been able to travel on a plane due to her stature, caused by a condition called Weaver syndrome that causes bone overgrowth, and other things.
She flew from Istanbul, Turkey, to San Francisco. Turkish Airlines modified a plane to allow Ms Gelgi to lie on a stretcher for the 13-hour flight.

With a small seating adjustment, Rumeysa Gelgi finally boarded a plane for the first time in her life.
Gelgi, who is in the Guinness Book of Records for her 2.15-meter (about 7-foot) height, was able to make the journey after Türkiye’s airline turned six seats on the plane into stretchers.
The 25-year-old software developer wanted to travel to the U.S. to collaborate with Guinness for an event and to help develop her professional career.
“This will be my first flight as well as my first travel overseas. But I believe that this experience will be a first for many individuals, not just me. However, because I couldn’t sit for lengthy periods of time due to my scoliosis, or spine curvature disorder, I had to fly on a stretcher,” she said.
“I have been dreaming and planning this trip for a long time, and I am so happy that I could make it happen now,” Gelgi told reporters
