how many women pilots are there tale
As of recent data, the number of women pilots worldwide is increasing, but they still represent a small percentage of the total pilot population. According to the International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISA+21), women make up about 5-7% of the total number of commercial airline pilots globally.
In terms of general aviation, the percentage of women pilots is higher in some countries, but it still remains relatively low compared to men. For example, in the United States, women represent about 7% of all certified pilots, but this figure can vary across different types of flying (e.g., private pilots, commercial pilots, etc.).
Efforts to encourage more women to pursue aviation careers are ongoing, with various programs, scholarships, and initiatives aimed at increasing diversity in the field. However, women pilots still face challenges such as gender biases and the need for greater representation and support within the aviation industry.
