CELEBRATING WOMEN IN AVIATION
CAPTAIN EMMA HENDERSON MBE, CO-FOUNDER, PROJECT WINGMAN
PAULA STANNETT, CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER, HEATHROW AIRPORT LTD.
KATHRYN LEAHY, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, HEATHROW AIRPORT LTD.
Event Abstract
International Women’s Day is celebrated annually across the globe. It is a chance to recognise the achievements of women in society, and inspire the next generation of girls to achieve their goals. This year the day also coincides with the anniversary of the world’s first female pilot licence 8th March, 1910.
Here, at the RAeS Heathrow Branch, we hope to celebrate some of the exceptional women in the aviation industry today. We are delighted to be joined in a panel event on the 10th March by three ladies who have made it to the top.
Captain Emma Henderson MBE co-founded Project Wingman during lockdown, her dedicated team of airline crew providing invaluable support to those NHS workers on the frontline. She may also be a familiar face to those who watched ITV’s Inside the Cockpit, where she, along with some of her colleagues, gave an insight into EasyJet’s day to day operation.
Paula Stannett is Chief People Officer at Heathrow. Heathrow Airport operates so effectively thanks to its dedicated 76,000 employees. Paula will describe her role in managing the workforce through the changing global pandemic, as well as share her experiences from over twenty-two years at Heathrow Airport.
Kathryn Leahy is Director of Operations at Heathrow Airport. Kathryn will provide an insight into her role in managing Britain’s busiest airport, the challenges she has faced and a few of her most interesting projects. She will speak about what inspired her throughout her impressive career and describe what being a woman at the very top of the industry is actually like.
After the presentations, there will be a panel session hosted by BA Senior First Officer Eleanor McBrien, from the RAeS Heathrow Branch Committee. We hope this to be a fitting tribute to the exceptional women across the aviation industry.
