Rajkot may get flying school of its own

Rajkot: Students of an Ahmedabad-based flying school may come to Rajkot for practical training. The school - Infini fly aviation — approached Rajkot airport to start a flying school in the city and allow use of the runway to provide practical training to its students.
Wanting to cater to students in Saurashtra, the school sought Rajkot airport authority’s permission to start a training school in Rajkot.
Founder Pratik Singal told TOI, “There is a lot of inquiry from interested students in Saurashtra region and to cater to them, we are planning to start a training school here. If we get a green signal we are planning to provide practical training to the students at Rajkot airport. Since, Ahmedabad is an international airport, it has a high flight frequency making it difficult to get a training schedule.”
The training school has asked Rajkot airport for space to park a small aircraft for training and some other space too. They can do theoretical training anywhere in the city.
Rajkot airport director, Diganta Borah said, “They sought an NOC to start flying school here and also want some space at the airport which we can provide. But first, they will have to get permission of DGCA which may take a few months.”
