Once upon a time, aviation was considered a man’s world. But women have always had their eyes on the skies. From Amelia Earhart’s groundbreaking solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932 to today’s airline captains commanding Boeing 787s, female pilots are proving that the sky is for everyone.

In Africa, Captain Irene Koki Mutungi made history as Kenya Airways’ first female captain. In India, Zoya Agarwal led an all-women crew across the North Pole. These are not just milestones — they are beacons of possibility.

Despite comprising less than 6% of pilots globally, women in aviation are creating networks to mentor and inspire the next generation. They advocate for equal opportunities, representation, and visibility.

Every flight they take is a message to the world: dreams don’t have gender, and the cockpit is open to those who dare to reach for it.
