Captain Laura Einsetler – A Woman Who Explores A World of Possibilities Beyond the Sky

Captain Laura’s story began with a dream to fly. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, known affectionately as the “Harvard of the Skies.”

That was only the takeoff. Over the next 30 years, Laura logged thousands of hours in the cockpit, mastering aircraft from the Boeing 767 to the Convair 580, navigating both domestic and international skies, military contracts and even aerobatics. Her leadership took flight not just in the air but in the classroom, on the tarmac, and in the media.

Indeed, Captain Laura’s career has become a living message: ceilings—whether glass or pressurized at 30,000 feet—are made to be broken.

In an industry that often demands all or nothing, Laura has somehow mastered the art of both. She’s a mother, a health advocate, a public speaker and a passionate blogger. Her books combine practical advice with deeply human narratives, demystifying air travel while inspiring readers to stay grounded in who they are. Her storytelling extends to the screen as well, with hopes of adapting her work for feature films and streaming platforms.

Women Beyond the Sky

An active member of the Ninety-Nines International Women Pilots Association, Women in Aviation International, and the International Society of Women Airline Pilots Laura mentors aspiring aviators, supports scholarship programs and creates space for women to be seen not just as passengers but as pioneers.

An aviation and health enthusiast and a passionate advocate for the aviation and travel industry, Laura remains refreshingly human. She speaks candidly about the pressures of piloting and parenting, the importance of self-care, and the value of staying curious. She believes in setting goals not just for the sake of success, but for the impact they can have on others.

“When you’re in the air, you have a unique vantage point,” she once said. “But it’s not just about what you see—it’s about what you bring back down with you.”

What’s Next for Captain Laura?

From the skies to the screen, from runways to writing desks, Captain Laura Einsetler is far from retirement. She dedicates her life to flying commercial aircraft while writing books and producing films to share her invaluable experiences to inspire more women. She is actively working on bringing her books to airport shelves and digital platforms. But perhaps her greatest gift is the message she leaves with every reader, viewer, and fellow flyer: The Sky is the limit! You just have to be brave enough to take off.
