Etihad Aviation Training has made history by becoming the first training organization outside of India to receive approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This significant milestone solidifies the training center’s growing reputation and ability to meet the rigorous standards set by the Indian aviation authority. With this recognition, Etihad Aviation Training is now positioned as a key player in delivering high-quality aviation training to Indian operators and professionals, expanding its global reach within the aviation industry.
The approval comes after a comprehensive assessment process where Etihad’s training programs, facilities, and instructors were thoroughly evaluated to ensure they meet the DGCA’s stringent safety, quality, and regulatory requirements. The center offers a range of services, including pilot training, simulator sessions, and safety procedures, and this new accreditation extends its services to Indian aviation companies seeking internationally recognized training programs.
The collaboration is seen as a step forward in strengthening aviation ties between the UAE and India, offering both countries greater opportunities to develop highly skilled aviation professionals. Etihad Aviation Training’s new status is expected to provide an enhanced learning environment for Indian aviation trainees, as they now have access to world-class training infrastructure and expertise.
This approval also represents a broader commitment from Etihad Airways and its training arm to maintain the highest standards in aviation education, not only in the Middle East but on a global scale. The center’s location in Abu Dhabi, known for its state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, continues to attract international clients, and this DGCA certification further highlights its role as a leading provider of aviation training.
