\u201cIndia is the country with a maximum number of women pilots in the world, be it in Air India or Indian Air Force. This is a testimony of the contribution made by women to the aviation sector.\u201d<\/strong> Indeed! India has outperformed most of the developed countries in recruiting women pilot for airlines. Globally, the total number of airline female pilots is 8061, which constitutes a little more than 5% of over 1.5 lakh airline pilots worldwide, as per the 2018 statistics available with the International Society of Women Airline Pilots.<\/p>\n

The total number of Indian women pilots for airlines is almost equal to 13% of the total female airline pilots in the world.<\/strong> India has 1092 women pilots, including 385 women captains for commercial airlines, as of the year 2018. The biggest US airlines, including United Airlines<\/span><\/a> with 7.5% female pilots and Delta Airlines<\/span><\/a> with even lower 4.4% female pilots, lag behind the national carrier of India, of which women pilots form 12.4% of its total pilots.<\/p>\n

Air India alone, which operates most of the nonstop flights to India from the US<\/span><\/a>, the UK and other parts of the world, has 217 women pilots to operate its fleet. Air India\u2019s Women\u2019s Day celebration is a testimony to the increasing female pilot strength of the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We at Travel Beats, an overseas Indian community portal by Indian Eagle Travel<\/a><\/span>, believe that Air India and its women workforce will play a great role in realizing India\u2019s Aviation Vision 2040<\/span><\/a>.
