The aviation industry has been male-dominated for too long. Although the number of female pilots has increased in recent years, they still only make up around 6% of all pilots globally. And when it comes to other aviation roles, such as air traffic control or aircraft maintenance, the number of women in these positions is even lower. This needs to change.

The traffickers exploit the aviation industry to transfer, especially when it comes to importing exploited labor from other countries. This is because traffickers often use airplanes to transport their victims long distances from their home countries.

Human trafficking is one of the most misunderstood crimes in the world, due in part to its secretive nature. It is a fast-growing industry, having reportedly hit record-breaking numbers in Finland in 2020. Across the globe, human trafficking affects millions of people and generates billions of dollars each year.

Human trafficking is a business of stealing the freedom of other people for financial profit. It occurs when the perpetrator, or trafficker, trick, defraud or physically force victims to obtain some labor or commercial sex act.

Though acknowledging that most of the operations are still highly dependent on fossil fuels and non-sustainable sources of energy, here are some initiatives by some leading European airlines.
