The DGCA Launches Electronic Personnel Licence Services for ATPL
On January 21, New Delhi witnessed a significant development in the aviation sector as the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) introduced Electronic Personnel Licence (EPL) services for Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). This launch marked a crucial milestone in the organization’s digital transformation journey.
The Electronic Personnel Licence is a cutting-edge digital license that incorporates ICAO-aligned security features to ensure authenticity, prevent tampering, and facilitate real-time verification. This secure digital license can be conveniently accessed through the eGCA mobile application.
In a move towards embracing digitalization, the DGCA had initially introduced the Electronic Personnel Licence in February 2025, starting with Commercial Pilot’s Licence (CPL) and Flight Radio Telephone Operator’s (Restricted) Licence (FRTOL).
