In 2022, DGCA issued 1165 commercial pilot licenses (CPLs) for aircraft pilots in India. There was a constant increase in the number of CPLs issued during the observed time frame. There was a shortage of type-rated pilot-in-command. To overcome this shortage, foreign pilots were issued temporary authorizations to fly in the country. Over the past few years, there was a significant rise in the number of foreign pilots.
