Diversity

Our effort to connect the world inspires us to foster a culture of respect among passengers and employees without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, culture, gender identity and sexual orientation.

In 2024, A4A’s Women in Aviation Initiative organized its first Girls STEM Day event, which gathered more than 100 local girls from Baltimore schools at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to find inspiration and insight into aviation careers. Our carriers strongly support expanding opportunities for inclusion among the exciting and fulfilling careers the aviation industry has to offer.

“We’re here to show girls they can be pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and so much more,” Ivon Aheart, Executive Director for the WFA Initiative said. “As these girls think about their future, we want to equip them with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed and show them there’s no limit to what they can accomplish.”
