Celebrating women in jet cards for International Women's Day

To mark International Women’s Day, we take a non-comprehensive look at some of the women behind the jet card programs you fly with

From the cockpit to the boardroom, women are making an impact on private aviation

While there is plenty of room for more women in leadership positions in private aviation, the good news is women are in more and more high-profile positions – including the cockpit.

To celebrate International Women’s Day and everyone who has a mother, daughter, cousin, or friend in private aviation, we put together this incomplete list highlighting some of the women behind the jet cards you fly with. Hopefully, they will inspire more women to pursue careers in the world of private jets.
