Aircalin Joins the Féminisons Label

Dream Yacht

On the occasion of the 5th edition of the “Féminisons” meeting, held on Thursday, June 4 at the Air and Space Museum of Le Bourget, Aircalin officially joined the label “Féminisons les métiers de l’aéronautique et du spatial”, carried by the Aérométiers association.

An initiative aimed at encouraging more young women to pursue careers in the scientific, technical and operational fields of the aviation sector.

Through this approach, the New Caledonian international company intends to strengthen the visibility of aviation professions among younger generations, and more specifically of women who are still underrepresented in technical, piloting or engineering roles.

Crew, maintenance, operations, flight operations, engineering, customer relations, logistics or support functions: Aircalin recalls the diversity of skills mobilized within the aviation industry and the variety of possible career paths.

A Commitment at the Highest Level of the Company

“Aviation careers offer exciting, demanding, and deeply human paths. At Aircalin, we are convinced that it is essential to better value this diversity of trajectories to challenge the stereotypes that remain too prevalent in the sector”, said Isabelle Coupey, Secretary General of Aircalin, who attended the event.

She adds that she wants to embed this dynamic in a knowledge-sharing approach: “The approach led by the label’s teams is essential, and we now wish to export these best practices and projects to New Caledonia so that the youth of New Caledonia can benefit from them in turn.”

If women today account for 54.4% of Aircalin’s 570 employees, some roles remain heavily male-dominated. This is particularly true for piloting, where the company has only 5 women out of 52 pilots.

In this context, Aircalin states its intention to help shift these balances, notably through its recent recruitment and the expected arrival of new flight crew as early as June.

A commitment integrated into a broader transformation strategy

This membership sits within the continuation of the transformation momentum that the company has been pursuing in recent months, notably marked by the strengthening of its Paris–Nouméa link via Bangkok and the announcement of the acquisition of two Airbus A350s by the end of 2024.

Beyond its operational challenges, Aircalin therefore intends to reinforce its role as a regional player, in New Caledonia as well as internationally, in terms of employment, training and inspiring younger generations. The company also aims to intensify its outreach with schools and to highlight the career paths of its female employees in order to promote a better representation of women in aviation.
