New Zealand Training Company Calls For More Female Pilots

CTC Aviation Estimates Only About Four Percent Of Airline Pilots Globally Are Women

A flight school in New Zealand is actively seeking women to enter a training program to become airline pilots, as the industry forecasts that over 500,000 new pilots will be needed over the next 20 years.

Peter Stockwell, COO of CTC Aviation in Hamilton, New Zealand, says adding more women to the ranks of airline pilots would increase diversity in an industry where it is estimated that only four percent of the world's active airline pilots are women.

The news website stuff.co.nz reports that Stockwell says that there is a high chance of job placement in airline industry for what he describes as a "glamorous" job with good long-term salary prospects.

CTC flight instructor Emma-Jane Lacy said that it has been her experience that women have "superior situational awareness" and can "build an excellent mental picture of their surroundings, which is key to flight safety."

Stockwell said the company is looking to develop relationships with all-girl schools and the New Zealand Association of Women in Aviation in an effort to attract more women to the profession.
