Every year on March 8, the International Women’s Day is commemorated worldwide, a date that invites reflection on the progress made in terms of equal opportunities and on the increasingly prominent role women play across different professional sectors, including the aviation industry.
Historically, aviation has been a male-dominated field. However, over the past decades the sector has undergone a significant transformation, with a growing number of women working as pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, operations specialists, airport management professionals and executives in leadership positions.
Aerowise stands out as a concrete example within the business aviation and aviation services sector. Currently, 90% of its team is made up of women, who hold key roles across operational, commercial and international flight coordination areas.
This female leadership not only reflects a commitment to equal opportunities, but also a corporate culture built around talent, professional capability and a shared passion for aviation. In an environment where precision, planning and coordination are essential, the contribution of this highly professional team plays a fundamental role in the development of daily operations.
In this context, our CEO of Aerowise, Perla Fagundez, reflected on the growing role of women within the aviation industry:
“Aviation demands precision, commitment and an exceptional capacity for coordination. At Aerowise we are proud to have a team where female talent plays a leading role. More than 90% of our staff is made up of women who demonstrate professionalism, leadership and passion for this industry every single day. We firmly believe that the future of aviation will become increasingly diverse, and we remain committed to creating opportunities for more women to grow and lead within the sector.”
From permit management and international logistics to coordination with airports, crews and suppliers around the world, the Aerowise team demonstrates every day that operational excellence is built on commitment, expertise and teamwork.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the company recognises and celebrates the contribution of all women who are part of the aviation industry and who, through their professionalism and dedication, continue to drive the growth and evolution of the sector.
Because the future of aviation is also taking off with female leadership.
