Abstract: Women employees face problems related to performance standards and expectations at various levels. Managerial bias impacts the growth of women in the workplace resulting in very few women in the leadership cadre. This study presents an overview of workplace issues faced by women in the Indian aviation industry. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted at Delhi Airport with the employees of three private Indian airlines. The paper has tried to explain the overall perspective of women employees, their line managers, and the HR personnel pertaining to women-related workplace issues. This study plays a significant role in providing an insight into various workplace issues like the dearth of women leadership, gender discrimination, fewer career growth opportunities, gender-marked work patterns, work-life imbalance, and psychological and sexual harassment in the Indian airline industry. This study might be helpful in bringing significant changes in the airline industry to curtail present issues and challenges.
