India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has appointed Shweta Singh as its new Chief Flight Operations Inspector.

“I am deeply humbled and thrilled to share that I have been selected to the esteemed position of Chief Flight Operations Inspector, the top pilot job in India at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. This landmark achievement fills me with immense pride, as it is a first in many ways and marks a significant milestone not only in my career growth journey but is also a resounding metaphor for the humongous strides made with respect to diversity and inclusivity within the aviation sector in India.

As the first lady pilot to hold this distinguished position, I am acutely conscious of the scale of my responsibilities and the attendant opportunity that it presents, at a time when the Indian aviation industry is poised at the cusp of phenomenal growth and associated challenges which makes my role at this juncture a fulcrum for aviation safety. I am truly inspired by the legacy of my late father, Brigadier HC Singh, whose constant guidance and unstinted support has fuelled my passion for leadership and unrelenting pursuit of excellence.

My vision for this role extends far beyond individual professional accomplishment; it encompasses a profound commitment to fostering inclusivity and inspiring future generations of aviators. I am dedicated to representing the spirit of determination and resilience, breaking down legacy barriers and paving the way for others to chart out their exciting journey.

I am deeply committed to advocating substantive and meaningful diversity in industry leadership roles, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of gender or background, have equal opportunities to thrive and contribute to the growth and excellence of the Indian aviation sector.

I am excited about the journey ahead and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in shaping the future of aviation in India. Together, let us soar to newer heights and continue to champion inclusivity, excellence, and innovation in every aspect of our work.” shared Shweta Singh.
