Sheltair partnered with Women in Aviation International (WAI) last Saturday to host events in honor of the ninth-annual Girls in Aviation Day at several of its facilities in the U.S. Southeast.

More than 3,000 potential future aviators gathered at its FBOs in Fort Lauderdale, (KFLL), Daytona Beach (KDAB), Tampa (KTPA), Panama City (KECP), Ocala (KOCF), Jacksonville (KJAX), and Savannah (KSAV). The attendees represented more than double the number that attended last year’s event, including a record 900 attendees at KDAB alone.
