Mandy Smith of Makkovik

At Gander Flight Training, they feel that it is vital to support women within the aviation industry.

With a mere 6% of all private pilots in Canada being women and only 4.5% of all Airline Transport Pilot License holders in Canada being women, it is important that we introduce as many women as possible to the industry and support them in their career paths.

Every year, Gander Flight Training (GFT) grants a “Women in Aviation” Scholarship. This is a $2,000.00 scholarship that will go towards the students training.

This year’s recipient is Ms. Mandy Smith from Makkovik, NL.

Congratulations Mandy!
