Turkish Airlines has reiterated its commitment to diversification and inclusion by signing on the ‘25by2025’ campaign organised by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) at the 78th IATA Annual General Meeting held recently in Doha.
With this commitment, the flag carrier of Turkey aims to change the female representation in its management and in areas where women are underrepresented by 25 percent, or up to a minimum of 25 percent by 2025.
After the signing ceremony held at IATA AGM, Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines Prof Dr Ahmet Bolat stated: “Turkish Airlines will continue to work with industry stakeholders to ensure greater representation for women in our industry, and close the gender gap. Today, not just in Turkey but in 95 cities around to world ranging from Tokyo to New York, from Zanzibar to Stockholm, our woman managers are working to elevate our brand and we reach further with their support every year. By realizing our commitment to 25by2025 initiative, we will increase the activity and contributions of our woman colleagues both in the skies and on the ground.”
IATA Director General Willie Walsh stated: “I welcome Turkish Airlines commitment to the 25by2025 initiative. Seeing diversity and inclusion as a strength is key to addressing gender balance within the industry. 25by2025 helps bridge that gap and today we see a strong commitment from across the industry to make that happen. Turkish Airlines sets a positive example for others to follow which is key today as we focus on attracting and retaining talent.”
By pledging its support, sustainability leader Turkish Airlines commits to a multifaceted approach that emphasizes the value of women in workforce and agrees to report annually on key diversity metrics, joining over 100 aviation-sector companies in committing to increase female representation in senior roles and in areas where women are traditionally under-represented.
