Airborne Females: Focus on Flight Industry
The Women in Aviation (WiA) network is on a mission to challenge norms and reshape perceptions within the aviation industry. This global community aims to help women stay in the industry and thrive, creating a space where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
WiA runs multiple initiatives and programs focused on increasing female participation, promoting inclusivity, and reshaping perceptions around women's roles in the aviation sector. These include scholarships and educational resources, mentorship programs, global networking and conferences, outreach and role model visibility, and leadership preparation.
Through structured mentorships, WiA connects women with experienced industry leaders, fostering professional development and career advancement based on merit and skill rather than preferential treatment. Scholarships and educational support help reduce financial and access barriers, making a career in aviation more accessible to a wider range of individuals.
Global networking and conferences like EAA WomenVenture celebrate female aviators, share experiences, and provide opportunities for engagement and leadership growth. These events, such as the 2025 WomenVenture, highlight themes such as lifesaving missions and include keynote speakers and workshops targeting pilots and enthusiasts.
Outreach and role model visibility initiatives, like Iberia’s "Quiero Ser" program, aim to inspire young women by providing immersive aviation career experiences. These efforts are part of broader diversity, equity, and inclusion plans to showcase female role models and open doors where female representation has traditionally been low.
WiA emphasizes merit-based leadership development and providing access to leadership experiences that accelerate career growth without relying on quotas or preferential treatment. They focus on qualified women to address the industry’s talent gap in global competitiveness and innovation.
