Simple Gestures of Support Make Big Impact

Q. How have/ can women contribute to the COVID-19 recovery in aviation?   

Men and women’s contributions to the recovery process of the aviation industry are no different. We are all fighting the same battle against an invisible enemy and we must continue working together alongside the global community. Whether you hold an entry level position or a senior management role within the industry, it is crucial to adhere to government guidelines and international best practices. Doing so will minimize the risk of spreading the virus and, in turn, help the industry to recover faster.   

Q. How can women support each other?    

Sometimes, women are the biggest gatekeepers of other women’s success. The best thing we can do to support each other is simply offering encouragement rather than judging each other’s choices. Women can form discussion groups where they come together in an informal setting for moral support, encouragement, and to discuss all the demands they face in and outside of work. Another good way to support each other is through mentorship and setting a good example for younger women to follow.
