Grounded Leadership
Captain Emma Henderson
Watching the Space Shuttle Enterprise touch down at Stansted airport on the back of a Boeing 747, aged ten, was the moment I decided that I wanted to fly. What I didn’t know then was that I would go on to become one of fewer than 500 female airline captains in the world, flying passenger jets for one of Europe’s largest airlines.Working in a high-pressured, male-dominated environment I had to learn patience and resilience; I juggled flight training with life as a military (RAF) wife, raising three young children and living across the world from family and friends.Flying multi-million pound passenger jets across Europe for over a decade was a dream job. I flew celebrities and royalty (as well as my own children), watching sunrises and sunsets from the best seat on the plane. But in 2020, the pandemic grounded flights worldwide and my dream career ended abruptly.
