CANSO

March 8 is International Women’s Day and hence we want to take a moment today to celebrate the remarkable women who are driving progress in aviation and air traffic management. Across our industry, women are leading change, challenging the status quo, and shaping the future of aviation. Over the past year, we’ve been inspired by the women who took the stage at Airspace World 2024, the CANSO Asia Pacific Conference, CANSO Africa Conference, and CANSO Latin America and Caribbean Conference, sharing their expertise, vision, and leadership. A standout moment was the 'Women in Aviation Breakfast', hosted by ATNS in Cape Verde, where industry leaders came together to champion greater inclusion and equity in aviation. At CANSO, we are committed to building a more diverse and inclusive industry through initiatives like our newly created Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) working group and Tomorrow’s Voices, which empower and engage the next generation of aviation professionals. Here is a collection of photos celebrating some of the inspiring women who took the stage at our events - leading discussions, sharing insights, and shaping the future of our industry. We look forward to seeing even more women leaders take the stage this year, continuing to drive progress, inspire innovation, and shape the skies of tomorrow. Happy International Women's Day! 💐 #IWD2025 #WomenInAviation #AirTrafficManagement #DiversityInAviation #HappyInternationalWomensDay
