Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu has urged more women to join the helicopter pilot industry, highlighting the critical role helicopters play in connecting regions where traditional airports are not feasible. Currently, 15 per cent of pilots in India are women, higher than the global average of 5 per cent. The Aviation Minister expressed optimism that through continuous efforts, the number of women pilots would increase, further empowering women in the aviation sector.
Minister K. Rammohan mentioned, "I would encourage more people, especially women, to become not only commercial aviation pilots but also helicopter pilots. More women pilots should come into the helicopter industry," during an event held at the Ninety-Nines India Aviation Conclave 2024 in New Delhi. Organized by the Indian Chapter of the Ninety-Nines, themed "Empowering Women to Soar," was held at the Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre, which celebrated the achievements of women pilots globally and encouraged higher participation in the aviation sector.
Keynote speakers and aviation leaders delivered keynote addresses, and panel discussions that covered career growth, mental health, and leadership. The event fostered networking opportunities and inspired future generations with career guidance and success stories.
