On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, CSAE salutes all the women working in ground handling.
In a sector that has historically been dominated by men, women are steadily increasing and by 2023 will account for 33% of the sector’s workforce.
This increase in the number of women has been encouraged by the actions taken by ground handling companies to promote professional equality and encourage a mix of professions:
- Setting up appropriate airport facilities to facilitate the integration of everyone on the ground.
- Development of new professions within the handling activities: passenger reception, assistance for passengers with reduced mobility, management of lounges and passenger flows, lounges.
- Development of dedicated training courses and professional support systems to ensure skills upgrading and career development.
