Today we’re celebrating both International Women's Day 2024 and Women in Aviation Week! It’s a chance to celebrate our female colleagues and women within the aviation industry from pilots to first officers, cabin crew to ground staff, maintenance engineers and the many other valuable roles that make up our industry. Whilst female pilots are on the rise across the globe, they’re still an incredibly small number in comparison to the male population. Studies show that the main deterrents for young girls and women considering careers in aviation are a lack of mentorship, visibility of role models, associated costs, and exclusionary policies, amongst other factors. At Symbiotics, we’re proud to have a team of fantastic women who are helping to lead the way in providing assessment and selection, training and consultancy services in over 130 locations worldwide. We're also proud members of Women in Aviation International. Today, let’s continue to #flyitforward across borders to remember the past, celebrate the present and shape the future of the aviation industry. #iwoaw #womenofavitionweek #woaw24 #inspireinclusion

Technology Programme Director at GKN Aerospace | Hydrogen Fuel Systems | Sustainable Aviation | Chair of the RAeS Women in Aviation, Aerospace and Space Committee
This is happening tomorrow! Read Kerissa's post for more detail about how the Royal Aeronautical Society are marking #internationalwomensday2024. Such a great speaker line-up and bold topics! If it's not already in your diary, see if you can join us online or in-person, even for part of the conference. Pass this on to any of your network and colleagues (not just women!) who would (or should) be interested. If you do miss out, look out for follow-up later in the week! #inspiringinclusion #changingtrajectories #closingthegap
Looking forward to hosting the Royal Aeronautical Society President's International Women's Day event tomorrow! As only the 2nd woman in 158 years to hold this position as President, I am acutely aware of the significantly disproportionate number of women not just in leadership roles, but across all levels of our #aerospace, #aviation and #space industries worldwide. Today, women continue to face adversities in the workplace that are barriers to progress and gender parity. This event will drive meaningful #dialogue on ‘hard topics’ and aim to #empower attendees with key information, helpful insights and practical tools. You can expect my thought-provoking interview with American lawyer, politician, chair of the World Economic Forum Future of Care Economy Global Future Council and founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First, Reshma Saujani. Hear from international speakers - Martine Gagné, Lucie Prinz, Jemma Austin, Maria Casero Borges, Christine Matthews and Ruth Mallors-Ray OBE. Join interactive sessions as we delve into: - Addressing inappropriate behaviours, including harassment, in the workplace - Tackling gender pay and promotion gaps - Impact of disproportionate care responsibilities on mental health and well-being - Organisational duty of care in providing safe and supportive working environments 🕑 14:00 GMT, in-person at RAeS HQ, London and online. All are welcome to be part of this important dialogue as we work towards a more #equitable and #inclusive future for our industries. #womeninaerospace #womeninaviation #womeninspace #womeninleadership #iwd2024 Register 👇

Despite ongoing efforts, women comprise only 4-6% of pilots and just 3% of maintenance engineers and technicians. Yet, the industry is shifting towards greater inclusivity, recognising diversity as both a moral imperative and a strategic advantage. 👩✈️ ⚙️ Discover how we can remove barriers and promote diversity in aviation. Our white paper tackles the challenges faced by minority groups and women, and proposes actionable strategies for a more inclusive industry. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4d1ehFB #AviationDiversity #Inclusivity #WomenInAviation #BreakingBarriers #EqualOpportunities #WhitePaper #StrategicAdvantage

Did you know that women make up just 6.4% of the global aviation industry? This statistic reflects the incredible journey we still have to ensure gender diversity and inclusion within the sector. I am a proud member of Women in Aviation, a global organization dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of women in all aviation career fields and interests. Our mission is not just about celebrating achievements; it's about breaking down barriers and opening doors for future generations. My aviation journey was fueled by a childhood dream to become a fast jet pilot. Despite being told repeatedly by teachers that this wasn't a career for a young lady, my stubbornness pushed me to pass the entrance exams to become a pilot with the British military. However, due to personal medical reasons, I discovered that I couldn't pursue a career as a fighter pilot. At that point, the idea of becoming a commercial pilot seemed distant, as I had never encountered a female first officer or captain. To this day, I have yet to fly with a female colleague on the flight deck. It's an honour and a privilege to work for Padpilot, where 50% of our talented workforce are women. This is more than just a statistic; it's a statement of our commitment to change. At Padpilot, we're not just educating the next generation of pilots; we're helping to shape a more inclusive and diverse future for aviation, where anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve their dreams. Let's continue to support and inspire one another, and work towards a future where gender diversity in aviation is not an anomaly but a norm. #Padpilot #DiversityinAviation #InspiringTheNextGeneration #WomeninAviationDay2024
🌟✈️ Celebrating Women in Aviation Day with Padpilot Ltd! ✈️🌟 Today, as we commemorate the achievements of women in aviation, from pilots and instructors to engineers and leaders, these remarkable women are breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of aviators. Their dedication and passion fuel our commitment to excellence every day. We're thrilled to share that at Padpilot, inclusivity is at the core of our success. Did you know 50% of our workforce consists of talented and driven women who are shaping the future of aviation education and technology? Join us in honouring all Women in Aviation, their contributions, and celebrating the progress we've made together. Happy Women in Aviation Day from all of us at Padpilot Ltd! 🚀💪 #WomeninAviation #Padpilot #AviationExcellence #DiversityandInclusion #internationalwomensday2024

I was honored to moderate a panel last week in our McKinsey chalet at the Farnborough International Airshow, that explored how companies can enhance and sustain inclusion and diversity in the sector. We gathered influential leaders from aviation, aerospace, defence, and technology for a fascinating and insightful dialogue. Some of the highlights from the conversation included: - Diversity drives innovation, by leveraging diverse perspectives to creatively and effectively solve complex engineering problems - Culture is key to an inclusive work environment, requiring collaboration between people and leadership to recognise unconscious bias and create a safe space for sharing insights and opinions - Leveraging advanced technology is crucial for enhancing diversity and inclusion, but we must ensure AI does not instill bias in processes - Creating the strongest teams by designing in diversity and inclusion, including valuable skillsets and experiences from different generations and backgrounds Why are we discussing this now? McKinsey’s research shows that $12 Trillion could be added to global GDP by advancing women’s equality (source: https://lnkd.in/gQfN7w95), and the aviation and defence sectors can still do more on gender parity. Let’s keep talking about it and taking action together as a sector. Special thanks to our panelists Gabby Costigan MBE, Donna Sinnick, and Samantha Vogel for their deep insights and meaningful contributions. Thank you to Holly Driver and Saoirse Collins for helping to organise such a fantastic and important discussion. #FIA2024 #McKinseyAtFIA

The sky’s the limit for women in aerospace. We’re empowering them to soar through the glass ceiling by signing the “Féminisons les métiers de l'aéronautique et du spatial” (Let’s feminize the aeronautics and space professions) charter. Aligning with our commitment to increase diversity, equity and inclusion across the board, it calls for greater representation of women in aerospace roles traditionally filled by men. In France, around 40% of the production management team at our Pamiers Aerospace Coatings site are already women, and we’re working towards women filling more of our sales and other commercial and customer-facing roles. Because we believe in painting a more diverse and inclusive future. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gm8napAx #AkzoNobel #Aerospace AkzoNobel Aerospace
