Celebrating International Women’s Day
Women make up 47% of the U.S. workforce, yet are vastly underrepresented in aviation. They hold less than 20% of most aviation jobs, with even smaller percentages in key roles like pilots, maintenance technicians, and leadership. This disparity extends to the highest levels, where women hold few C-suite and CEO positions.
At Jet Linx, we aim to create an inclusive workplace where all team members can participate, contribute, and be valued for their skills and perspectives. Over 33% of Jet Linx’s nationwide leadership is female, with many building decades-long careers at the company. We proudly maintain ties to Women in Aviation International, International Girls in Aviation Day, and local educational non-profits. Our local teams host, sponsor, and participate in events with these organizations, and many female Jet Linx pilots individually engage with local Ninety-Nines chapters and similar organizations.
Jet Linx remains committed to building a stronger, more diverse aviation workforce by listening to and learning from the underrepresented voices in our community. So, to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, we posed a simple question to women in various roles across the country.
If you could write a letter to the next generation of women in aviation, what would the first few sentences say?
Regional Vice President
To the next generation of women in aviation: Don’t be afraid to let your voice be heard—your ideas and your perspective are valuable, no matter the challenges you may face in an industry that’s still finding its way to embrace you. Your ideas, your ambition, and your leadership belong in the cockpit and the boardroom.
Safety Analyst
Whether you’re guiding flights, ensuring aviation safety, mentoring the next generation in aviation, or designing the next great aircraft, your impact is shaping the future of flight for all women who follow.
Pilot
Embrace the fact that you stand out—because every time you step into the cockpit or the aviation world, you challenge the norm, redefine expectations, and prove that the sky was never meant to be limited by tradition but rather filled with passionate and competent individuals!Â
Pilot
If, like me, you love all things aviation, don’t let anything or anyone get in the way of working hard to pursue your passion – the world of aviation will be that much better because of you.
Regional Vice President
We choose to work in aviation because it is a passion – gender means nothing when you’re pursuing something you live for.
Director of Total Rewards
Follow your dreams; the sky’s the limit, and there’s nothing stopping you from reaching your goals.
Marketing Manager
Whether you’re developing marketing campaigns for a private aviation company or flying for them, remember that your diverse perspective as a woman in the aviation industry is invaluable and will drive change and foster inclusivity. As you navigate your career, maintain your passion and resilience, knowing that your contributions will empower those women who follow in your footsteps.
Pilot
Embarking on this journey is going to change your life one way or another so if you really want this, ignore the negative voices, focus on your dream, and find a way to overcome the obstacles because you belong here as much as anyone.
Vice President, Human Resources
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise – your presence is powerful and you belong here. Don’t be afraid to break barriers and lift as you climb, knowing your perspective and passion are essential to the future of aviation.
