Women in Aviation Training

Special Breakout Session

Thursday 7th November 2024 – 1300-1400

Women in Aviation Training (WiAT) is an initiative focused on providing practical ways to support all women in the aviation training industry. The aim of WiAT is to bring together a community of motivated individuals to support and encourage growth and ambition and to empower change.

Launched at EATS last year, the WiAT community has grown from strength to strength.

We are delighted to return this year. The community continues to grow rapidly and as a result, the more challenges we have uncovered.

The session at EATS 2024 will centre discussions on making the industry more family friendly and look at pathways and procedures for change.

Our work during the year has led to some fascinating conversations and learnings, and the panel this year includes ‘Captain Mum’, who will be revealed and will be sharing her experiences and views on how working practices can be improved to offer better recruitment, retention and training. We will also be looking at competency and selection, and the question of bias!

Join the WiAT online community forum, a private online space to network with other WiAT members and share experiences, goals and practices.

The special breakout panel at EATS 2024 features:

• Captain Mum – revealed!
• Captain Veronica Žunić, Salient Aero
• Prof Sue Durbin, University of West of England
