Women in Aviation Middle East Scholarship Program

Why We Support Women in Aviation

At FlyIAA, we believe that passion, determination, and skill, not gender, are what truly matter in aviation. For too long, women have been underrepresented in aviation, particularly in pilot roles, despite having all the qualities needed to excel in this dynamic industry.

We've witnessed firsthand how financial constraints often prevent talented women from pursuing their aviation dreams. That's why we've moved beyond awareness campaigns and mentorship programs to create something more impactful: direct financial support that removes barriers and opens doors.

Our commitment goes deeper than training pilots, we're reshaping the future of aviation itself. By empowering women today, we're building a more inclusive, balanced, and innovative aviation workforce for tomorrow. This isn't just about individual success stories; it's about proving that when women are given equal access, visibility, and opportunity, they don't just participate, they thrive and lead.
