The International Air Transport Association (IATA) today launched the 25by2025Campaign — an initiative to advance gender diversity in the airline industry by 2025. The exercise is a voluntary commitment by participating IATA member airlines. The campaign aims to raise the number of women in senior positions (to be defined by the member airlines) by either 25% against currently reported metrics or to minimum representation of 25% by 2025. There is currently no comprehensive airline industry-wide gender diversity statistical report. But, with women representing around 5% of the global pilot population and 3% of CEOs, the gender imbalance in the industry is clear.
