Ayesha procured her student pilot license in the year 2011 at the age of 16 years old, making her the youngest student pilot to get a license. In 2012, she also underwent training to fly a MIG-29 jet at Russia’s Sokul airbase. In 2016, she graduated in aviation from the Bombay Flying Club (BFC), and got her commercial license in 2017.
