Increasing the participation of women in many economic sectors has been one of the major preoccupations of business leaders and policy makers all over the world. In the aviation industry, major international organizations including International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) have keyed into initiatives to support more women participation in aviation professions and leadership. IATA, in 2019, came up with its agenda 25by2025 which aims to increase the percentage of women in aviation leadership to 25% across airlines by 2025.
