“Born to fly”: Indian pilot blazes trail for women in aviation

Nearly one in every eight pilots in India is a woman, more than double the figure of the United States.

Zoya Agarwal is an Indian pilot. When she settled on her dream twenty years ago, she had no role models, and no sense that women had access to a career on the flight deck. India is now the country with the highest rate of female aviators.
