India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), is set to undergo a safety oversight assessment by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in November, according to Saurabh Sinha’s TOI report.
The review comes after a challenging period for Indian aviation, marked by several high-profile incidents in 2025, including the Air India Ahmedabad crash, multiple helicopter accidents in Uttarakhand, a disruption in Delhi’s air traffic control systems, and operational challenges faced by IndiGo.
