Girls in Aviation Day 2024

Women in Aviation – Ireland Chapter is delighted to participate in the 10th annual Girls in Aviation Day 2024 on 21st September in conjunction with WAI chapters from around the world. The event will be held in Shannon Aviation Museum and will involve a tour of the museum and specialised activities involving female pilots (professionals, General Aviation and Drone), air traffic controllers, aircraft engineers, aeronautical engineers, and cabin crew.

The aim of the day is to introduce aviation as a future career path to girls (aged 11-18) and to meet role models who will open their eyes to the fascinating world of flight. Places are limited so early registration is advised.
