Established in 1946, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is a statutory body of the Government of India, formed to regulate civil aviation in India. The DGCA oversees the issuance of licenses and certificates for pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers, and aviation personnel while ensuring the safety and security of all civil aviation operations in the country.

With its headquarters located along Sri Aurobindo Marg, opposite Sadargunj Airport in New Delhi, and 14 regional offices across the nation in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kochi, Bhopal, Lucknow, Patna, Bhubaneshwar, Kanpur, Guwahati and Patiala, the DGCA overlooks comprehensive regulation of air transport services, as well as stringent enforcement of civil air regulations, ensuring uncompromising standards in air safety and airworthiness.

The DGCA’s vision to ‘Endeavour to promote safe and efficient Air Transportation through regulation and proactive safety oversight system.’ plays a crucial role in the growth of the Aviation Industry in India. DGCA’s pilot training programs are precisely tailored to match the international standards established by organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). By following the standards, the DGCA warrants that Indian pilots undergo world-class training, empowering them to navigate aircraft in the domestic and international airspaces with utmost safety and efficiency. 

The aviation industry is growing at a rapid pace across the globe, allowing opportunities for career advancement and skill development to professionals within the industry. To match the demands of the industry, it is crucial to hold certifications and licenses that validate skills developed, and knowledge incurred through learnings and experiences.
