Indian women are soaring in aviation thanks to outreach programs, improved company practices, and strong family support.βοΈ A 1948-formed youth programme called the National Cadet Corps' air wing, which trains pupils to fly microlight aircraft, attracted many Indian women to aviation. While companies like Honda Motor Co. offer full scholarships for training young girls as pilots, state aid has also made pilot training more accessible.
The Indian Air Force now recruits women for fighter roles. Airlines like IndiGo and Vistara offer flexible policies and extended maternity leave to retain female talent. IndiGo provides creches and flexible contracts for pilots, and Vistara offers temporary ground jobs for pregnant pilots.
