With this, Capt Singh becomes the first woman to hold the top post in the DGCA’s Flight Standards Directorate (FSD).
“She cleared the interview to the post of CFOI and has now become the first woman to head the department that handles regulatory requirements for airlines and non-scheduled operators,” said a source. “Capt Singh has been part of DGCA team that has successfully handled number of audits conducted by the US aviation regulator and UN’s International Civil Aviation Organisation,” the source added.
