On October 25, 2025, United Airlines proudly supported the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) Girls in Aviation Day in Ghana, an inspiring initiative designed to introduce young girls to the diverse opportunities within the aviation industry. A total of 258 students from Tema Senior High School, Methodist Day Senior High School, Peki Senior High School, African Science Academy, and Accra High School participated in a day of exploration, mentorship, and hands-on learning. Activities included tours of the UA Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, the Air Traffic Control Tower, the GCAA Simulation Centre, and both airport terminals, paired with storytelling sessions and career insights from aviation professionals.

Many of the girls shared that the experience encouraged them to dream bigger, reconsider their future career paths, and gain confidence in pursuing roles in aviation. For some, it was their first time on an aircraft—an unforgettable moment that opened their eyes to new possibilities. In line with United’s belief that “Good Leads the Way,” the initiative reflects the airline’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of aviation leaders and building a more inclusive, diverse, and inspired aviation community.
