India – Boeing has celebrated a milestone moment with the award of flight training scholarships to the first cohort of Boeing Sukanya Scholars, a group of young Indian women selected to begin their journey as professional pilots. The programme is designed to empower women in aviation and support India’s growing demand for airline pilots—especially at carriers such as Air India.

• The Boeing Sukanya Scholars programme awarded flight training scholarships to a select group of women aspiring to become commercial pilots.

• The scholars will begin their initial flight training, with pathways designed to progress them toward Air India flight deck positions.

• The initiative is part of Boeing’s multi-year investment in gender diversity, aviation education, and workforce development in India.
