On International Women’s Day: Women in Aviation

Though to flourish and thrive, the aviation industry needs both men and women on board, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day today and all the women who contribute to the aviation industry every day.

We are optimistic about the future of aviation and we look forward to witnessing the progress in bridging the gender gap.  Several initiatives and partnerships are being undertaken at ICAO to support the advancement of talented women within the global aviation community.  ICAO Assembly Resolution A39-30 on ICAO’s Gender Equality Programme, which promotes the participation of women in the global aviation sector, aims to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal No.5 on Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women within the framework of the 2030 Agenda.

This video highlights some of the bold women we may not always see, but whose work has had a lasting impact on aviation through the decades:
