Deborah Flint on the Rosenzweig Report

Women are reshaping the future of aviation. At Pearson, I am proud to lead a team where nearly half of my Executive Team are women, driving decisions at the very center of our ambitious strategy. Across the airport, women command our operations centre, lead emergency response teams, and lead billions of dollars in contracts, deals, and infrastructure. While the momentum is real – the number of women earning pilot licenses has increased by 58 percent since 2010 – we still “have a long way to go, baby.”

The Rosenzweig Report is a reflection of where we stand today, while discovering just how wide the aperture is open for the greater possibilities for women tomorrow. Are we more able to be our fullest selves, regardless of the traditional and the expected? Might we let the uniqueness in each of us blaze trails and break patterns of limitation? Just as air travel connects people, places, and cultures, this report is a form of forging connections where women can see each other take off and, more importantly, together, soar.
