Here are just a few of the ways that aviation can benefit from hiring more women in leadership roles:Women's participation in the field of aviation has increased over the years. In 1909, Marie Surcout founded the world's first female pilot organization, the Aéroclub féminin la Stella. After the 1929 women-only air race in the United States during the National Air Races, 99 women out of the 117 holding U.S. pilot licenses at the time founded the first American female pilot organization named the Ninety-Nines after the number of members. Within the United States, during 1930, there were around 200 women pilots but in five years there were more than 700.[4] Women of Aviation Worldwide Week has reported that after 1980, the increase in gender parity for women pilots in the United States has been stagnant.[5] The global percentage of women airline pilots is 3%. While the overall number of female pilots in aviation has increased the percentage remains the same.
The top challenges for women in this industry are discrimination and the overall lack of representation, but there does seem to be some progress in European and Middle Eastern countries. For example, in 2021, India was leading the way for female pilots with around 12.4% of all pilots employed being women. At the same time, this number was only 4.7% in the UK.(2023) What are some of the key factors that have contributed to the rapid increase in women's participation in traditionally male-dominated industries like aviation?
