FedEx is proud to support the Professional Asian Pilots Association

Promoting diversity and inclusion in the airline industry

Established in 2017, The Professional Asian Pilots Association (PAPA) was created by a passionate group of airline pilots. What started as a singular group chat between a group of friends gradually evolved into a full-fledged organization, connecting and empowering individuals who share the same vision to overcome Asian underrepresentation in the aviation industry.

Our mission

PAPA is dedicated to bringing awareness and support to all members of the Asian community in all fields of aviation. We hope to inspire current and prospective professionals towards a fulfilling career in aviation.

“We are proud to work with FedEx to pursue equality in aviation and honored to receive an annual scholarship to assist with tuition toward flight training for our members,” said PAPA President Harley Pasiderio.
