Mysuru could be hub for skydiving

Mysuru: The day may not be far when adventure enthusiasts come to Mysuru to take the plunge, with the city’s weather turning out to be its trump card for promoting the sport.

This sport is hugely popular in countries like the United States, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. Mysuru airport is a DGCA-approved drop zone for sky diving.

Realising Mysuru’s potential as a sky-diving destination, Skyriders, a division of Su Kakini Enterprises Private Limited, a certified agency for operating sky diving, has been organising jumps in the city for over six months.

Pratap Simha, Mysuru MP, who on Monday jumped from a height of 13,000 feet, said that barring the monsoon, sky diving can be performed in any season. It can be a means to draw international adventure enthusiasts, he added.
