This initiative reflects a major shift towards a digital future, allowing ATCOs to manage their licenses on mobile devices securely and in real-time.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is making a significant leap towards digitalization by issuing electronic licenses for Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs). This move aims to enhance operational efficiency and support India's civil aviation sector in achieving global competitiveness.

The electronic licenses will allow ATCOs to access and manage their credentials seamlessly through smartphones and tablets. The DGCA's decision to go paperless marks a fundamental shift in air traffic management, emphasizing technological innovation within the regulatory framework.
