Women in Aviation India has commenced the celebrations of its landmark 10th Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) under the theme “Vimanan Ka Gyan, Nari Shakti Ke Naam.” Dedicated to empowering girls and breaking gender barriers in aviation, the initiative aligns with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of a Viksit Bharat, and his belief that “When women prosper, the world prospers.”

The nationwide series of GIAD 2025 began with events in Noida and Hyderabad, designed to inspire young students by showcasing the wide range of career opportunities in aviation. Since its inception in India in 2016, Girls in Aviation Day has grown into a movement that has reached more than 50,000 girls across over 30 Indian cities, including smaller towns and remote areas, where awareness of aviation careers was previously limited.

In Noida, students from the NGO Sai Kripa engaged with aviation leaders, including a pilot from Air India, professional trainers, and experts from airport operations, PR, and HR. They shared personal stories of resilience and success, encouraging the girls to dream big. In Hyderabad, Women in Aviation India partnered with GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) to highlight the evolving role of women in aviation. The program featured motivational sessions, panel discussions, and exclusive tours of the GMR Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility and the School of Aviation, where students gained insights into aircraft operations and aviation training.

The sessions emphasized the importance of STEM education, mentorship, and skill development as essential drivers for bridging the gap between education and employability. Students also received career guides, GIAD t-shirts, and WAI merchandise as reminders that the “sky is open” for them to pursue aviation dreams.

GIAD 2025 takes place at a time when India’s aviation sector is set for ambitious growth, with the Ministry of Civil Aviation announcing plans to develop 350 airports by 2047, up from the current 162. With demand for a diverse and inclusive workforce rising, initiatives like GIAD play a crucial role in inspiring the next generation of women professionals to be part of the country’s aviation growth story.

The year-long celebrations will culminate in December 2025 with the “Giving Wings to Dreams Awards, honoring women who have made significant contributions to aviation and have helped empower others.

Reflecting on the milestone, Mrs. Radha Bhatia, President of Women in Aviation India, said, “In the last decade, we have grown from strength to strength, reaching thousands of young girls across India. Today, GIAD is not just an event, but a movement that inspires girls to see aviation as a career within easy reach. Tomorrow looks bright and promising for our young girls, who will play a vital role in India’s growth story.”

With support from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and partners including Millennium Aero Dynamics, MakeMyTrip, Bangalore International Airport, GMR Hyderabad International Airport, Blue Dart Aviation, and TravTalk, the Girls in Aviation Day 2025 celebrations will extend to more than 15 cities across India.
