The International Air Transport Association has announced the winners of the 8th edition of its Diversity and Inclusion Awards at its 82nd Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The awards were presented as part of IATA’s AGM programme, which runs from 6 to 8 June 2026, and recognises individuals and organisations supporting a more gender-balanced aviation workforce. Among the names identified in the official announcement are Rania Alturki and Fiona Omondi.
IATA said the awards form part of its annual flagship gathering and are intended to spotlight progress on gender equality and broader inclusion across aviation. The association’s AGM 2026 includes the diversity awards among its featured sessions and highlights.
