KLM welcomed 30 schoolgirls to its tech hub during Girls’ Day 2025. The initiative linked young minds with real-world aviation. KLM offered them full access to its engineering and maintenance center. The girls explored how aviation works and discovered its exciting challenges.

They visited aircraft hangars and engine shops. KLM engineers explained how they maintain airplanes. The girls joined in hands-on activities. They built 3D-printed engine models and answered questions in a tech quiz. Every moment gave them a better understanding of aviation technology.

KLM noticed that few women work in its technical division. It wants to shift that pattern. By involving girls at an early age, KLM creates a stronger interest in tech fields. The company aims to boost female participation in aviation careers.

Girls’ Day fits into KLM’s larger inclusion goals. The company pushes for equal opportunity in all roles. By opening its doors, KLM shows that girls belong in engineering too. These events prove that aviation careers are open to all genders.

The students came from a school in Alkmaar. Their trip included guided tours and interactive sessions. They asked questions, handled tools, and tested new ideas. KLM gave them a clear picture of tech careers.

Through this event, KLM inspired new dreams. Many girls were left with greater confidence in their abilities. Some may return one day—as technicians, engineers, or innovators. KLM believes their futures can take off from here.
