By: WE Staff | Wednesday, 19 October 2022

Indian Women Pilot Association (IWPA) has honoured IndiGo, India's top airline, during the 55th Emerald Golden Jubilee for Women Empowerment in Aviation and Aerospace. The most female pilots are employed by IndiGo than by any other airline in the world. By hiring more than 680 women pilots and setting an example for the rest of the world, the airline was recognised by IWPA for its efforts to foster an inclusive and gender-diverse workplace culture. Along with equality, physical health, mental health, and social well-being, IndiGo also gives women's needs priority.

Capt. Ashim Mittra, Senior Vice-President: Flight Operations, IndiGo, said, “We are extremely grateful to IWPA for recognizing IndiGo’s efforts towards women empowerment.

At IndiGo, we constantly work to foster a culture that exemplifies inclusivity and diversity in all of our processes. We are extremely proud to be an equal-opportunity company. India is at the top of the list with 12.4%, which is double the global average of female pilots. This honour inspires us to set greater goals in order to create a more welcoming workplace culture that will lead the aviation sector globally.

The Indian Women Pilot Association (IWPA) welcomes both current female pilots and those who have stopped flying for one reason or another in order to maintain their interest in aviation.

The Association serves as a liaison between women who want to fly and the aviation-related authorities.
