Stockholm/videoconference, 24 June 2025 – The tenth meeting of the ECAC Network on Diversity and Inclusion in Civil Aviation, kindly hosted by the Swedish Transport Agency in Stockholm, was chaired by Giovanna Laschena (Italy) and brought together representatives from ECAC Member States and regional sister organisations AFCAC and LACAC to share experiences and ideas on advancing inclusion in civil aviation.
Discussions explored national practices, sector-specific challenges, and the importance of tailoring diversity strategies to different social and institutional contexts.
A highlight of the meeting was the intervention by Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji, Head of External Communications and PR at Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), who shared valuable insights on fostering inclusive workplaces across borders.
The group continued its work towards implementing the 2025 work programme, with discussions focusing on a proposed KPI-based model for measuring progress in diversity and inclusion, alongside the results from a recent diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training needs assessment.
Participants also reviewed a draft training model shaped by input from Member States, emphasising blended learning approaches, leadership engagement, and sector-specific content.
