To inspire more women globally, PAL’s all-female flight crew participated in the Global Women’s forum held at the Guam Airport. During the event, FO Tan-Ng, who is also PAL’s AVP on Pilot Affairs, said in her speech, “Philippine Airlines is an equal opportunity company. PAL’s culture of inclusivity has empowered the female members of the workforce to lend their voices, talent, and creativity for the good of the Organization.”
A Great Way to Celebrate Women Empowerment
FO Tan-Ng added, “What a great way to celebrate women empowerment. Our all-female flight is an inspiring and exhilarating experience,” when asked to describe the milestone flight journey. In her inspirational message, she stated, “We – as women – do not exist in a box. We evolve amid the challenges of the times. We are strong and resilient. We support fellow women and we co-exist with all of humanity. We embrace inclusively.”
PAL’s all-women flight showcases the airline’s commitment to inclusivity and gender equality. It empowers women in aviation and demonstrates the airline’s dedication to encouraging more women to join the industry. PAL’s culture of inclusivity and gender equality enables female team members to excel in their roles and contribute to the organization’s success.
First love never dies. I fell in love with airplanes and aviation when I was a kid. My dream was to become a pilot, but destiny led me to another path: to be an aviation digital media content creator and a small business owner. My passion for aviation inspires me to bring you quality content through my website and social accounts. Aviation is indeed in my blood and blog!
