EasyJet's Sophie Dekkers on female pilots - and championing Brownies
31 May 2019by Sophie Griffiths
In 2015, only 5% of easyJet’s pilot intake were women. Now it’s well on the way to reaching its target of 20% by 2020. The airline’s UK country director explains why it’s critical for easyJet to keep "challenging" itself on diversity.
Dekkers, who is speaking at the first TTG Diversity & Inclusion in Travel conference in London on 3 July, is the perfect person to tell the story, having progressed from customer research manager to head of change management before eventually joining the executive team at easyJet.
