Women in Aviation International (WAI) is anticipating that its ninth-annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) will draw some 30,000 girls between the ages of eight and 18 to events held on Saturday throughout the globe. Hosted by WAI chapters and corporate members, GIAD will encompass more than 150 events at airports, FBOs, museums, and hangars in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

In addition, WAI will offer virtual resources, activities, information, and instructional videos through its free Aviation for Girls app.
