Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|November 03, 2025
The civil aviation regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has promoted 18 senior officers to the post of Deputy Director General (DDG) — a move aimed at strengthening its top technical and air safety leadership amid persistent staff shortages across critical divisions.
“With these promotions, all the vacant posts of DDG are now full in the DGCA,” an official confirmed to HT. “Some of these posts have been lying vacant since 2023,” he said.
According to an October 31 office order, seven of the promoted officers were serving as director of airworthiness; two of them as director of air safety, three director of aircraft engineering and six director of Operations (Ops).
The promotions come against the backdrop of continuing vacancies across the DGCA's technical cadre.
