The Women in Aviation International Ireland Chapter recently hosted an evening networking event, backed by Aero Inspection International. Members and guests from several aviation and aerospace fields attended, using the gathering to make contacts, exchange views, and learn about roles and opportunities across the industry.
The chapter also outlined member benefits, including scholarships, a simulator outing with SimTech Aviation, the WAI On-Air podcast, GIAD, and a mentoring scheme. It intends to welcome familiar and new attendees at future events as its Irish network grows. Membership information is available at wai.org.
This event may help women in aviation and aerospace build professional networks, which could improve access to mentors, role models, and career information. Over time, such connections may support greater visibility and retention in the sector, though one gathering alone is unlikely to change industry-wide patterns. It could also benefit employers by linking them with a wider talent pool.
