Zoey Williams, a 27-year-old Ontario native, has risen to new heights as Air Canada’s first black female pilot. Williams, who holds four college degrees from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, has not only smashed glass ceilings but also served as an inspiration to aspiring aviators all around the world.

Williams’ path to the cockpit is as astounding as it is inspiring. Her love of aviation began at a young age in Ontario, driven by a desire to defy preconceptions and break down boundaries in a mostly male-dominated sector. Her unwavering pursuit of greatness led her to earn four degrees from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, establishing her skills in numerous areas of aeronautics.

Williams has been extensively featured in Air Canada and Elevate Aviation’s Women of Inspiration videos, where her narrative has captivated audiences and inspired many to chase their aspirations without fear. Her persistent passion and commitment to her art have earned her a spot as one of the industry’s rising stars.

In addition to her historic role as Air Canada’s first Black female pilot, Williams has been named one of Wings Magazine’s Top 20 Under 40, cementing her status as an aviation trailblazer. Her accomplishments are a monument to her tremendous talent, dedication, and unflinching drive to challenge the status quo and pave the way for future generations of pilots.
