Bengaluru’s only flying school, which was reopened last year after repeated shutdowns, has earned praise from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) officials after they inspected the facility on Monday.
The aviation regulator’s feedback comes at a time when the school – located en route Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) – is staring at closure, once again.
Barring a few minor issues, the DGCA found the government-run flying training school of Jakkur to be state-of-the-art, sources said. While the regulatory body appreciated the brand new aircraft, re-developed aircraft hangar and the renovated runway, they were disappointed that these facilities were not used optimally.
