DGCA Cabin Crew License: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn the requirements for the DGCA Cabin Crew License, including training needs, renewal costs, and the risks of missing training windows.

This license is the legal authorization required for individuals to work as cabin crew on aircraft registered in India.

Who it's for

This is for certified cabin crew members who have successfully completed training that has been approved by the aviation authority.

What you get

Once obtained, this license gives you the legal right to perform your duties as cabin crew on Indian-registered aircraft.

What it costs you

There are fees associated with renewing your license, and the exact amount can change. To maintain it, you must provide records of your recurrent training and a valid medical assessment.

The catch to know

Your license is not permanent without ongoing effort. If you miss your window for recurrent training, you will be grounded immediately, meaning you cannot legally work until it is resolved.

How to apply

  1. Complete your approved aviation training.
  2. Ensure your medical assessments are up to date.
  3. Prepare your recurrent training records.
  4. Submit your application through the official portal: https://dgca.gov.in
