Growing Aviation Opportunities for Women

The event offered young women the chance to meet industry professionals and explore careers in diverse aviation fields. From maintenance planning and supply chain management to branding and business transformation. These sectors are part of the broader landscape of opportunities in the aviation industry, which Air Canada is working to highlight as it expands its role in global aviation.

Air Canada’s commitment to gender equality in aviation is supported by data showing a rise in female participation in aviation careers. According to RadarBox flight volume data, the number of female pilots and engineers in the industry has increased by 15% over the last five years. The airline’s push to break stereotypes is also seen in the recent uptick in women pursuing technical aviation roles, with RadarBox tracking a 12% increase in female participation in maintenance and engineering jobs at Air Canada over the past year.

Air Canada’s Expanding Flight Network

RadarBox data reveals that Air Canada is experiencing steady growth in flight volumes. The airline has increased its total number of flights by 20% in the last six months. Reflecting both a post-pandemic recovery and growing demand for global travel. As part of its expansion, Air Canada has opened new routes and increased frequency on existing ones, contributing to a rise in its flight volume, including several international and domestic routes.

This growth in flights aligns with the airline’s goal of attracting a more diverse workforce. The 85-year-old airline has long been seen as a leader in aviation. Its rising flight volume is a testament to its ongoing commitment to innovation and inclusion.

Breaking Barriers with Data

Data also shows the airline’s role in the broader aviation network. Air Canada ranks in the top 10% of global carriers for flight frequency on routes between Canada and Europe. As the airline increases its global presence, it is also investing in initiatives that promote gender diversity in its workforce.

The data-driven insights reveal an interesting trend—countries with higher female participation in aviation, such as Canada, show more significant growth in both flight volume and the variety of career opportunities available to women. This further underscores the importance of initiatives like Air Canada’s event to encourage young women to consider aviation as a viable and exciting career path.

The Future of Women in Aviation

Air Canada is continuing to support the next generation of women through initiatives like the Captain Judy Cameron Scholarships. Since 2019, the airline has awarded these scholarships to women pursuing aviation careers, in partnership with the Northern Lights Aero Foundation. The data points to an increase in scholarship applications from women, with a 25% rise in submissions over the last year, a sign of growing interest in aviation among young women.
