DGCA Launches Paperless Licenses for Air Traffic Controllers

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is introducing paperless Personnel Licences for Air Traffic Controllers, heralding a new era of efficiency and modernization in India's aviation sector. The digital licenses offer real-time updates and access via mobile devices, streamlining operations and supporting environmental initiatives.

In a significant step toward digital transformation, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is poised to introduce paperless Personnel Licences for Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs). This innovative initiative marks a critical evolution in the management of personnel licenses, promising to enhance efficiency and modernize India's aviation sector.

The Electronic Licence is set to elevate operational efficiency, allowing ATCOs easy access and management of their licenses through mobile electronic visual display devices like smartphones and tablets. Transitioning from paper-based systems to a fully digital platform, the move revolutionizes license management for air traffic controllers.

Securely stored and readily accessible, the digital licenses facilitate real-time updates and immediate access to critical licensure information. More than a regulatory update, this electronic shift signifies a foundational change in air traffic management operations. The DGCA's strategic vision aims to integrate technological innovation into its regulatory framework, propelling India's civil aviation sector toward greater performance and global competitiveness. Additionally, the paperless system aligns with DGCA India's commitment to eco-friendly practices, as it eliminates the need for printing licenses.
