Fly in India

Planning to pursue your pilot training in India? This collection features DGCA-approved flying training organisations (FTOs) and aviation academies across India — the most accessible and cost-effective path for Indian students pursuing a CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence) or PPL (Private Pilot Licence).

India's flight training ecosystem has grown significantly, with DGCA-approved FTOs operating across states like Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Gujarat. With training conducted in familiar regulatory, cultural, and geographic environments, domestic pilot training offers shorter turnaround times, lower costs compared to overseas programmes, and DGCA-aligned licensing from day one.

Institutes listed here offer programmes across ab-initio pilot training, PPL, CPL, instrument rating (IR), multi-engine rating (MER), and night rating — all structured to meet DGCA requirements. Many also provide end-to-end support including Class 1 and Class 2 Medical guidance, DGCA ground school, eGCA portal assistance, and dedicated counselling for students navigating the domestic admission process.

Use this collection to compare flying schools, understand training structures, review estimated costs, and find the right DGCA-approved institute to begin your aviation career in India.
