The accomplishments of all of Air India's women pilots pleased the US-based aviation museum, and as a result, they provided a space in their collection.

She is the only human to have been chosen as a pilot at the San Francisco Aviation Luis A Turpen Aviation Museum, also known as the SFO Aviation Museum.

The SFO Museum honored the distinguished aviation career of Indian pilot Zoya Agarwal as well as her global activism for women's empowerment, which encouraged millions of young women and girls to pursue their ambitions.
