«Aviation Is My Life» — a documentary story about
Saltanat Tompieva, Chairperson of Kazakhstan’s Civil Aviation Committee.
At the age of 21, she began
her career at the Civil Aviation Committee as a leading specialist. Over the
years, she rose through every stage of her professional journey — from
specialist to head of a department and deputy chairperson. Today, she leads
Kazakhstan’s Civil Aviation Committee.
Behind her professional
achievements is the story of a woman who, from the very beginning of her
career, had to prove her professionalism in a challenging and traditionally
male-dominated industry. Responsibility, daily decision-making, 24/7 work,
international projects and the development of Kazakhstan’s aviation have become
an integral part of her life.
In the film, Saltanat Tompieva
speaks about her journey, the decisions that shaped her career, her passion for
aviation, and why even a simple aircraft takeoff still feels like a miracle to
her.
Her parents, daughter and
colleagues share their perspectives on a woman who has managed to combine
professional responsibility, leadership and devotion to her family.
A special focus of the story
is her work to promote women in civil aviation and encourage young people to
pursue careers in the industry. Today, women make up around 40% of Kazakhstan’s
civil aviation workforce.
This is a story about a
profession that becomes a calling. About a woman who chose the sky. And about a
dream — to see peaceful, clear skies over Kazakhstan.
