women pilots in africa

[perceval]

There has been . is and will be . I've had female colleagues , students and/or friends (yet pilots) from Tanzania , Kenya , Algeria , Egypt , Congo , South Africa , Madagascar and Ethiopia at least . To that you can add a number or migratory (permanent or temporary ) girls from the UK , USA , Spain , France , Switzerland ( Hi Liz !) ... that I encountered flying around the continent . The only place where I never heard a feminine voice ( Besides an Egypt air 320 F/O once ...) on the airwaves was in Lybia , although I did hear someone mentioning that there might have been one or two at some point (??) . If you're thinking of emigrating to look for work , you'll be facing the usual hurdles ( finding work , taming a chief pilot/HR RP , Getting licences and other permits ...etc...) like everyone else . Sometimes being a woman will make it more difficult but sometimes it might help ... who knows how it works ? Good luck in any case and have fun !
