On the occasion of March 8th, International Women’s Day, Air Support is honoring the female employees who drive the daily development of our company and, more broadly, the industrial sector. In a rapidly changing world of aircraft maintenance, diversity and gender equality are essential drivers of growth.
Highlighting female talent and industrial diversity
Today, women in industry represent approximately 30% of the total workforce, according to the latest INSEE figures. While this proportion is steadily increasing year after year, establishing genuine gender diversity in industry remains a major challenge, particularly within cutting-edge sectors and technical professions.
In aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), this dynamic of gender diversity is proving strategic and crucial. GIFAS (the French Aerospace Industries Association) regularly reiterates that increasing the number of women in the aerospace sector is an absolute priority to support major recruitment campaigns this year at the national level.
At Air Support, experts in onboard equipment maintenance, we take concrete action to promote inclusion. We firmly believe that the diversity of profiles and backgrounds is a key driver of our economic performance, directly stimulating innovation and cohesion within our technical teams.
Expert opinions: they share their vision of careers in aeronautics
In the heart of our production workshops and offices, our female employees thrive every day in demanding careers. Methodological rigor, cutting-edge technical expertise, and a strong team spirit define their daily work. Four of them have agreed to share their vision of the industrial sector and encourage the next generation of talent.
“Modern industry is accessible to women, so don’t hesitate for a second and go for it!”
“You have to dare to try: the industry is much more accessible and interesting than you might imagine.”
“No two pieces of equipment are truly alike; each day brings new challenges and invites me to delve deeper into understanding.”
“What makes me proud is seeing my team adapt, find solutions and move forward together: alone we go faster, together we go further.”
These inspiring testimonials powerfully illustrate women’s passion and commitment. They demonstrate that technical skills have no gender and highlight the excellence of our expertise in Occitanie, as exemplified by the initiatives shared during Industry Week.
CSR and professional equality: daring, inspiring and transmitting the industrial spirit.
Beyond the annual celebration of March 8th, promoting diversity is at the heart of our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy. Valuing gender equality allows us to build a more efficient, agile, modern, and highly inclusive industrial model, perfectly aligned with Air Support’s founding values.
True to our industrial and societal commitments, we are continuing our concrete actions to break down stereotypes. We will continue to promote the careers of our female employees, inspire young female students, and support all those who choose to thrive and succeed in the aerospace industry.
