WOMEN IN MAINTENANCE AND ENGINEERING
Much has changed, but there's still a way to go
20 years ago, Brussels Airlines proudly welcomed its first fully licensed female technician to its maintenance facilities. Carolien Sterckx began her career in the early 2000s and officially became licensed in August, 2005. Today, Brussels Airlines employs 28 women in its Maintenance and Engineering department, which still represents only 8% of the total workforce in that area.
