Diversity & Inclusion
Capital A recognises the value of diversity for the different perspectives that it brings to enhance our decision-making processes. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, cultural background, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability or nationality. Our age and nationality diversity are as represented below:
To meet UN SDG5 on Gender Equality, we invested heavily to increase the representation of women especially in technical roles. The results of our decades-long effort has borne fruit with the current employment of 194 female pilots. However, we recognise that we still have a long way to go towards achieving gender equality across the board.
We are committed to addressing systemic gender bias by closely monitoring and assessing our gender pay gap. Other than industry-wide bias with fewer women in aviation, especially technical roles, our employment track record shows no systemic gender bias at employment and in pay scales.

Human Rights
Anti-Harassment
We believe unequivocally in the rights inherent to all human beings irrespective of race, sex, nationality, religion or any other status. Our approach to human rights is aligned with international labour laws and is highlighted in our Code of Conduct and Ethics.
To provide greater clarity on acceptable and unacceptable behaviours in and outside the workplace, we developed an online learning module specifically on Anti-Harassment in 2022, which all new recruits are required to complete.

Anti-Human Trafficking
As our airlines begin to go full scale with operations, our exposure to human trafficking risk increases. In 2023, we revived awareness of our anti-trafficking e-learning module, #KnowtheSigns, through a reminder campaign in conjunction with World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
