Women now make up about 14% of airline pilots in India, more than twice the world average, and the total is growing at a record pace. The Directorate General for Civil Aviation reported that 18% (292) of the 1,622 commercial pilots certificated were women and it expects that trend to continue. That was a jump of 22% over the previous year. "This is the second consecutive year where the number of licenses issued a decade high," the DCGA said in a statement.
