In the second of a four-part series on women in aviation, CAPA's new Airline Leader high-end monthly magazine examines the typical roles occupied by women across the world’s airlines. The report notes that a common thread among many women who have navigated their way to the top is that they have either started out with a smaller company and grown with it, or progressed through smaller, often subsidiary, regional airlines. In each case, the barriers to sideways movement would be much lower and the day-to-day exposure to issues right across the company’s activities much greater.”
