On National Engineering Day, IndiGo made history by welcoming its first-ever all-women batch of 33 maintenance technicians. This marks a major milestone in the airline’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) journey, aiming to expand representation in technical roles across aviation. Why It Matters - IndiGo’s engineering team maintains a fleet of 400+ aircraft with an impressive Technical Dispatch Reliability of 99.89% in FY25. - The new technicians underwent a week-long induction, featuring mentorship from senior leaders and inspiring stories from experienced women engineers. - Women now make up 44.8% of IndiGo’s workforce, and 16.2% of its pilots—one of the highest ratios globally. Global Context Women remain underrepresented in aviation’s technical roles, with aircraft maintenance showing the lowest participation—just 2.6% in 2024, according to ICAO. IndiGo’s initiative is a bold step toward changing that narrative.
