Women Lead Change in Hospitality, Aviation

As International Women's Day approaches, various sectors highlight women's achievements and progress in traditionally male-dominated fields. Riyadh Air is leading gender diversity in aviation by initiating an aircraft maintenance engineering program exclusively for women, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030's goals to empower women. In the travel and hospitality industries, women are gaining recognition and leadership roles, as seen in the ABTA Powerlist 2025, which honors women like Lisa Kingman and Angie Hills for their contributions to the travel sector. Additionally, women are making strides in hospitality, with leadership positions increasing from one woman for every ten men in 2019 to one for every seven today. The Wicomico Commission for Women is also celebrating local women's contributions with an award during Women's History Month. Furthermore, women chefs and mixologists are reshaping the culinary landscape, emphasizing innovation and diversity in the hospitality industry.
