✨ This Wednesday said that her is ✨
•Michelle is one of the very few Peruvian female pilots with only 22 years of age.
•At around 20 years old she was hired as a first office for Avianca airlines.
•Raquel admires Michelle because she is a prime example of someone who is passionate and disciplined with her aviation career.
•Raquel said “as a hispanic pilot it's hard to find fellow women aviators to look up to that I can identify with.”
•Female pilots make up about 7 percent of all certificated pilots.
•Professional pilot ranks are even less diverse, with women holding 4.3 percent of airline transport pilot certificates.
• Raquel said “It’s comforting to see women like Michelle fly A320s at such a young age and I hope to have a bright future like Michelle in the near future.”
