AWE
was born in 2005, has been very active and in April 2006 became the WAI - Women in Aviation International European Section.

AWE operates exclusively for charitable, educational or scientific purposes.
  • To foster, promote and engage in aviation education, particularly as it relates to women in aviation. This includes encouraging women to seek opportunities in aviation.
  • To cultivate, foster, and promote interest and understanding among thepublic in the accomplishments and contributions of women to the aviation industry.
  • To establish, acquire and maintain information and materials, acting as a depository for historical and scientific interest which pertain in any way to the science of aviation, especially as it relates to women in aviation.

AWE is promoted by Michelle Bassanesi (see Curriculum Vitae), an aviation enthusiast holding several flight licenses and endorsements both sides of the Ocean (JAA FI(A) and FAA CFI CFII ASEL). Michelle has experienced all the difficulties a woman, even in a modern and non-sexist society as that of western Europe, must face to find a proper location in aviation world regardless of skills and qualification: thus she decided to do something similar to what WAI does in the USA to lobby and promote women's talents.

AWE coordinates the promotion of women and their work in aviation.
AWE looks to spread aviation knowledge and culture amongst women.
AWE's long term goal is to create a source of information and professional opportunities for women in European aerospace and aviation.
AWE will rapidly become the main source for the aviation industry "made in Europe" as well as a powerful "food for thoughts" factory.

AWE Announcements
The idea to start Women Aviators in Africa came after attending the Aviation and Women Europe conference in Norway last September. Attending the conference gave me a sense of understanding of what awaited me in my future career as a pilot. I also learnt a lot about other careers within the aviation sector that I did not have prior knowledge about. The mentorship, support and encouragement I got from the women at the conference, gave me the confidence to aim higher in my goals. Looking back at my continent, where young people, and especially women look as their dreams go down the drain, I felt that such an organization was necessary to avail girls and women alike with information, mentorship and when possible sponsorship to pursue their passions.

I know it has been a long time you since you've heard from me. I have an excuse! Finally my five year assignment in Brussels finished in December 2007 and I have now returned to my country, Turkey. I’m working in Istanbul now for my company, Turkish Airlines.

O­nly o­ne thing has changed: I’m now a chief controller!

AWE Celebrates European Aviation
Anyone o­n Aeroshell Square at 10:30 a.m. o­n Friday found their way blocked by a sea of pink-shirted women that covered the concrete from the KC-135 Tanker to the Ford Trimotor to the DC-3s. An estimated 1,000 women pilots turned up to be seen and photographed in an effort to set a record as being the largest gathering of women pilots in o­ne place at o­ne time.

"This idea, spawned by EAA consultant Patricia Luebke, has taken off," said Elissa Lines, VP of Development for EAA. "We hope that the sheer number of us gathered here today o­n AeroShell Square will inspire other women and girls to take a chance o­n aviation, or even just to try out flying for fun, or more."
