Today we're highlighting aviation management alumna Cailyx Madensky, who is helping young girls take flight. It is estimated that only 4% of pilots globally are female, and Cailyx wants to empower and motivate women to join the aviation industry. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gMviqr7D

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

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.

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/eamNec8w #AkzoNobel #Aerospace AkzoNobel Aerospace

The #aviation industry is facing a talent shortage. Meanwhile the demand for maintenance services is growing and the workforce is aging. However, women are still under-represented in the industry, especially in leadership roles. This panel will discuss how we can attract, retain and develop more female representation and increase #diversity in the industry. Where are there success stories and what can we learn from them? Where are we falling short as an industry? Are we moving quickly enough? Is the disparity between genders linked with the industry's image? What are we doing to address this?
