According to a senior official at the regulator, licenses have been granted for two FTOs; Dunes Aviation Academy, Bhavnagar in Gujarat, and Indian Flying Academy, Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh.

The official stated that with the approval, the total number of FTOs in India has now reached 36, giving a Filip to enhance capacity for training more ab initio pilots within India.

The DGCA issued 1,622 Commercial Pilot Licences (CPLs) in 2023, a 39 percent increase over 2022.
