AviAll and Ishka came together one more time to prepare and deliver an outstanding discussion titled: Cutting through the fog - aviation leaders demystifying diversity and inclusion. This session is a special complimentary Ishka Original that is open to all and available to view on our digital events Ishka+ platform.

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.
