Women Above The Clouds

PLAY


Experience the inspiring stories of courageous female pilots defying stereotypes as they conquer the skies, delivering aid, rescuing lives, and making a difference in remote regions across the world.

Come with us on a spectacular journey to meet courageous female pilots who, despite stereotypes, conquer their freedom and fly small machines in the world's most remote regions.

Only 3% of pilots worldwide are women. The strong female pilots we encounter mastered the craft of flying. They fly doctors to remote areas of Alaska, train female pilots in Jordan, rescue mountaineers in the Himalayas, take part in daredevil aerobatic competitions in Norway or transport mine workers to the Australian outback. Who are these women who have the courage to fly a bush plane, live in remote areas and take care of their fellow human beings?
