Women often make better pilots, so why are only 5% of pilots female, and 1.42% of all captains are female?
Touch The Sky is a series that gives women an opportunity to be free from everything that can weigh them down, it lifts them high above issues they may be facing and shows women that they can do anything.
With only 5% of pilots in the world being women, we aim to show that anyone can do it and that no matter how successful a woman is in life, there are always new heights to reach as they work through the issues on the way to their goals like online bullying, workplace harassment, guilt, and fear.
