Key Takeaways:
The ninth annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD), hosted by Women in Aviation International (WAI), features over 150 global events designed to introduce girls aged 8-18 to diverse career and lifestyle possibilities in aviation and aerospace.
These events offer age-appropriate, hands-on activities such as meeting female role models, exploring aircraft, and learning about engines and avionics.
WAI extends GIAD's reach year-round through the free "Aviation for Girls" app, a new free junior membership (available for girls and boys 18 and younger), and scholarship opportunities for junior members.
Participants at events receive free activity kits, which this year include WAI's newly published "The Sky is Unlimited: Careers in Aviation and Aerospace" guide.
On Saturday, the world of aviation will belong to the girls in the form of the ninth annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) hosted by Women in Aviation International (WAI).
According to WAI, there are more than 150 events planned at airports, FBOs, museums, and hangars across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
