Redditor Dumbhosadika charted out the number of female pilots employed by major airlines around the world β€” using data from the International Society of Women Airline Pilots 2021 and "Women in Aviation: A Workforce Report 2021" β€” to see the varied representation among pilots in major airlines. Here's what they found.


Key takeaways:
  • Only Air India's pilot work force has more than a 10 percent share of female representation, whereas among major airlines, Singapore has the least at 0.4 percent.
  • Hawaiian Airlines leads with 9.3 percent share of female pilots among North-American carriers, followed by United Airlines at 7.7 percent.
  • Shipping and receiving companies UPS (with a 7.7 percent share of female pilots) and FedEx (with a 4.3 percent share) rank higher than carriers like Qatar Airways, Fly Emirates, Aeroloft and Japan Airlines when it comes to a diversified pilot workforce.

    So, what? The graph seems to indicate # of female pilots is around only 5%? Is there an actual greater number of female pilots that are not hired? Also, a large number of pilots come from the military and what's the % female there - google indicates 2% or so. This graph doesn't mean anything to me. The percent of non student licenes indicate 6% are female....so females are adequately represented from available licensed population....so this is not a discrimatory situation...maybe females don't want to be pilots.
