Meet Kim De Knop on Instagram
Kim De Knop is a co-pilot who works for a cargo airline called Challenge Aircargo. Kim flies around the world for his work. And when he lands in different places, he sets out to explore the city. He usually explores on foot because he believes that this is the best way to “discover the city”.
In addition, receiving many airline assignments helps her enjoy the destination to the best of her ability, be it food, entertainment, or accommodation. Then, of course, she shares her amazing life on Instagram.
Her Instagram page @737pilotgirl has more than 122,000 followers. She started her Instagram journey in 2015 and reached 50K subscribers in August of 2016. You can also find her on Facebook.
And Kim began his professional career training for the Romanian airline Blue Air. She was then only 19 years old. She became a qualified pilot at the age of 21 and began working as a pilot for Blue Air.
In 2017, Kim left her job at Blue Air to join Norwegian Airlines. And she announced the news on her Instagram. She worked for Norwegian and was stationed in Alicante, Spain for three years. While in Alicante, she bought a house near the airport.
Kim had to leave Norwegian due to the COVID pandemic. After the pandemic broke out and most flights in Europe were suspended, he was placed on annual leave. He had to leave his job at Norwegian and join Challenge Aircargo. And since then he has been working as a cargo pilot.
Kim began his piloting career with the Boeing 737. However, he currently flies the Boeing 747-400. Both aircraft are large, high-flying aircraft used for long-haul flights.
Despite her success as an Instagram pilot, many people don’t believe that a blonde her age can be a pilot. People often mistake her for a cabin crew member. However, Kim is quite proud of her profession. And she was especially proud “to be part of the five percent of women who fly around the world.”
Of all the cities Kim has been to, she says her favorite is New York.
As an Instagrammer, she is currently sponsored by Breitling, a luxury watch company.

At the time, Kim had to split his time between his base in Alicante and Norway. On the other hand, William trained in Alicante. However, since Kim only had short-haul flights, he was able to find time to see William.
When the pandemic hit and Kim left Norwegian (see above) to join Challenge Aircargo, William also joined Challenge with her. By then, William had completed his training and could become a cargo pilot as well.
