Mervat Sultan has been serving as the President of the Women in Aviation Middle East Chapter since 2013.

She holds the record as one of the first women in the Arab world to obtain an FAA GCAA flight dispatch license. The Syria-born Sultan, who also has a private flying license, first emigrated to Saudi Arabia before moving to the Emirates.

Outside of the organization, Sultan is busy working as a finance manager at Ramjet Aviation, a private aviation company that specializes in the acquisition, sale, and appraisal of corporate aircraft. The company is based in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates.

As president and co-founder of Women in Aviation in the Middle East, Sultan paved the way for women in the industry in the region to be recognized while promoting education and inspiring other women to empower themselves. The group is also actively involved in various outreach projects.

A passionate flying enthusiast, Sultan was inducted as a fellow at the Royal Aeronautical Society in 2017.
