- - Nargis Zamaray, Founder, Aviation for All
- - Leslie Kurshan, Managing Director, Aircraft Finance Insurance Consortium (AFIC), Marsh Global Credit Specialties Practice

European aviation is working to improve gender balance in the industry. Since 2018, EUROCONTROL has been actively promoting diversity and gender in its HR processes and internally with our staff, and working with partner organizations to try to make a difference.
De luchtvaart is nog grotendeels een mannenwereld met overeenkomstige mores. Daar willen Sannie Bombeeck (opleidingsmanager Aviation Academy van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam) en Nargis Zamaray (docent bij diezelfde opleiding) verandering in brengen. Ze hebben het Nederlandse chapter van Women in Aviation (WIA) opgericht.
