Female pilots have a long pioneering history in the aviation industry and have made many significant contributions.

More and more women are now entering the industry and embarking on successful  careers as pilots. It has now become a boast for many airlines that they have “all female flight crews!”

With the ever increasing demand for pilots and the greater acceptance of the role of women in many countries, now is a fantastic time for more females to make their mark and get into the airline industry.

We encourage more young women to get into this exciting and rewarding career and will ensure that you are provided with the skills and experience to get the flying start you need to a succeed.


The ever growing participation of women in aviation has led to the establishment of organizations for female pilots, resource centers, support networks and magazines dedicated to women pilots. See the links below to find out more.
