Latest UK CAA Pilot Licence Statistics for Women!

Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate the release of the latest UK Civil Aviation Authority pilot licence statistics ✈️

The figures are truly phenomenal, highlighting significant progress in women's representation within the UK pilot community.

The figures highlight some fantastic progress across the industry. In general aviation, the number of licences held by women has increased by 9.3%, compared to 4.6% for men. We are equally delighted to see continued progress in commercial aviation, where women now hold 6.22% of commercial pilot licences, up from 5.9% in 2024 and 6.05% in 2025.  We are particularly delighted to see a 70% overall increase in new pilot licences issued to women since 2024.

These are hugely encouraging steps forward, and while there is still progress to be made, it is fantastic to see the numbers moving in the right direction.

We will always continue to inspire, educate and inform women about the opportunities available to them across aviation.

 Through our global community, events, partnerships and mentoring programme, we want to ensure that more women feel empowered to explore these opportunities and pursue their ambitions within the industry.

We are incredibly excited to see what the future holds, and look forward to watching these statistics continue to grow!
