Centre to consider shifting of Jakkur flying school

New Delhi: Union Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathy Raju has promised to consider the Karnataka government's request to shift the Karnataka Flying Training School at Jakkur (Benglauru) to Mysuru airport.

During his meeting with Karnataka Higher Education Minister Basavaraj Rayaraddi here, the Union Civil Aviation minister said that he was positive about the idea and would ask the officials to study the proposal immediately.

Jakkur Flying School has stopped its operation and the state government wanted to shift it to Mysuru so that institution can run properly. “It will also help to use the Mysuru airport, which is now underutilised,” Rayaraddi told reporters after the meeting.

Rayaraddi also promised the Centre to provide land if the Civil Aviation ministry plans to open Aeronautical Engineering Institute in Mysuru.
