Middle East Airline-Owned Flight School Turkish Airlines Flight Academy Announced the Graduation of its 87th Squadron

Turkish Airlines Flight Academy (TAFA), a flight training organisation and subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, announced a significant milestone as the 87th Squadron graduated from the academy.

In 2023 the flight training group took delivery of 10 brand new Cessna 172S training aircraft in 2023 to now operate a fleet of 24 Cessna 172S aircraft.

In addition in 2023 Turkish Airlines Flight Academy (TAFA) signed an agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for 20 single-engine training aircraft.

“As we prepare to carry our brand further within the scope of our vision for the next 10 years, it makes us all proud to see the high level of domestic and national opportunities and capabilities,” said Ahmet Bolat, Chairman at Turkish Airlines. “Our pilots to be trained with our aircraft to be produced by TAI will bring us closer to the fleet target of 800 aircraft, which we aim to have in 2033.”

“On the other hand, with this valuable agreement that will support TAFA to become an international pilot training center, the star of Turkish aviation will shine even brighter,” added Bolat.

12 Percent of Canadian Pilots are Women in 2023

The Institute for Women Of Aviation Worldwide (iWOAW) is pleased to share encouraging Canadian pilot population statistics. In 2023, Canadian women grabbed 12 percent of the 6,354 pilot licences issued by Transport Canada, 58 percent more than in 2010.

Over half (52%) of all pilot licences issued in 2023 were recreational in nature. Transport Canada recorded 2,980 new Private pilot licences, the first step to an eventual professional career. 65 percent of these licences went to candidates between 20 and 39 years old.

Eileen Vollick was the first Canadian woman to receive a pilot licence on March 13, 1928, and Rosella Bjornson was the first Canadian female pilot to be hired by an airline in 1973. Last year, Canadian women qualified for 13 percent of the new recreational-type pilot licences, 12.3 percent of the new Commercial pilot licences, and 8.1 percent of the new Airline Transport pilot licences.

The progress in the commercial sector is particularly impressive. The number of women who received a Commercial or Airline pilot licence soar to 334 last year. It was just 197 15 years ago when iWOAW launched the Fly It Forward® Challenge, the world’s first female-specific outreach initiative focused on closing the aviation introduction gender gap. At the time, a boy was more than twice as likely as a girl to be introduced to aviation careers.

As iWOAW prepares to celebrate the 15th anniversary of its Fly It Forward® Challenge that made it possible for nearly 73,000 Canadian girls of all ages to visit various aviation industry facilities and facilitated 22,403 first flight experiences for women and girls, the tangible impact of the initiative is uplifting.

iWOAW is asking aviation enthusiasts and professionals who want to change the face of aviation to double down their efforts during the upcoming Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week, March 4-10, and respond to its 15-for-15 challenge to introduce at least 15 women or girls to aviation’s career opportunities, hands-on, during the Week.

iWOAW annually awards global Fly It Forward® titles and trophies to the most outstanding airport, community, corporation, and event organizers. iWOAW announces the names of the winners at the end of March.
