The deputy opposition leader will audit Australia's aviation sector in a bid to boost the number of women becoming pilots and tackle the industry's gender pay gap.
Sussan Ley on Saturday announced she would push for national "pilot parity" with the number of women pilots in Australia currently below one in 10.
Workplace Gender Equality Agency data also recently exposed a median gender pay gap of up to 55 per cent in the aviation sector, something airlines have attributed to a lack of women pilots.
