According to recent statistics, only 5% of commercial pilots in Australia are women. FlyOnE is supporting the disruption of antiquated traditions in the aviation sector and is committed to providing opportunities for more women to pursue careers in aviation as pilots. FlyOnE believes that by supporting and empowering women in aviation, it can help bridge the gender gap and create a more inclusive and diverse workforce.
Two individual pilot training scholarships will cover 50% of the cost of flight training, including ground school, flight hours, and exams to the level of Solo Flight for the successful candidates, one each in Victoria and Western Australia. The recipients will gain hands-on Electric Aviation experience3 by flying with experienced Electro pilot instructors at flight schools that utilise FlyOnE's electric aircraft fleet. The scholarships will be available to women of all ages and backgrounds, with no prior flight experience required. FlyOnE hopes that this initiative will encourage more women to consider a career in aviation and break the stereotypes surrounding the industry.
FlyOnE's CEO and founder, Korum E, stated, "We are excited to launch this program and provide women with the opportunity to pursue their passion for flying. We believe that diversity in the aviation industry is crucial for its growth and success. By offering these scholarships, we hope to inspire and empower more women to join the aviation community and contribute to the industry's advancement."
Applications for the pilot training scholarships will open on Monday the 19th of August 2024, and interested candidates can apply through the Women in Aviation website2.
