Airlines with more women at the top found to be more efficient

The aviation sector was one of those hardest hit by the restrictions in place during the COVID pandemic. Research led by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) analyzed the efficiency of 45 airline groups over two years, before and after the crisis: in 2019 and in 2022. The team investigated to what extent the presence of women on the boards of directors and in the executive teams of these companies affected their results.
