London City Airport’s ‘Women in Aviation’ Programme

London City Airport held their fifth annual ‘Women in Aviation’ challenge at the Sunborn London Yacht Hotel in Royal Victoria Dock. The event was part of the finale of the airport’s ‘Women in Aviation’ programme, spanning over three-months where up to three-hundred young women from East London schools are educated about the aviation sector.

The programme showcases how Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects impacts the aviation industry, particularly in providing solutions to upcoming challenges. Additionally, the initiative aims to inspire local young women to pursue careers in the sector, with women underrepresented in both STEM and aviation.

The scheme has now welcomed one-thousand-and-five-hundred participants over the last five years, presenting how aviation can be an attractive career path for young women. Increased opportunity in the sector encourages better balance in gender and culture (especially for those from BAME communities), allowing for greater inclusivity, understanding and acceptance.

2025 Winners

Students from Bow School in Tower Hamlets won London City Airport’s fifth ‘Women in Aviation’ challenge which focused on finding unique and innovative solutions to improving sustainability. The group presented their idea of using new technology and AI for waste management processes, and the integration of renewable energy into the transport and infrastructure network. Through this, the passenger journey from home to destination can be made significantly more sustainable.

Industry experts made up a panel of judges, who awarded the students from Bow School with the winning title. The group also received vouchers and a special airside tour of London City Airport as a prize.

The finale event was also attended by a number of local councillors – including Newham’s Vice Chair for Local Development Committee and Barking & Dagenham’s Cabinet Member for Community Leadership & Engagement.

Alison FitzGerald, CEO of London City Airport, has said:

“I’d like to congratulate all the young women who took part in this year’s programme, which was one of the most energetic and engaging events to date. It was inspiring to see the creativity and enthusiasm of these young women as they tackled some of our sector’s most pressing sustainability challenges.”

naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
