Aviation regulator DGCA has introduced new features on its e-governance platform for stakeholders, including the facility to fetch pilots’ flying hours on a real-time basis that will also help in faster processing of licence applications.
Besides, the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) database has been integrated with the civil aviation ministry’s heli-sewa portal that will allow speedier processing of landing requests.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), operators are now issued the certificate of airworthiness with respect to newly inducted aircraft at foreign delivery locations through the regulator’s eGCA portal for ferrying the planes to India.
