Women in Aviation International (WAI) has received a $100,000 grant from the William Penn Foundation Special Gifts Program to support the organization’s work to increase the number of women involved in all aspects of aviation.

A new professional development course, Women in Leadership: A Program for Emerging Leaders, has been added exclusively for Women in Aviation members.

To support its commercial aircraft ramp-up, meet challenges in defence, space and helicopters, Airbus intends to recruit more than 13,000 people globally in 2023.
