New Flying Training Academies

In news

India is set to get 8 new Flying Training Academies under the liberalised Flying Training Organisation (FTO) policy of the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

Details
  • These academies will be set up at Belagavi, Jalgaon, Kalaburagi, Khajuraho and Lilabari.
  • The set-up of these 8 FTOs is aimed at making India a global flying training hub and to prevent the exodus of Indian cadets to foreign FTOs.
  • Additionally, these FTOs will also be designed to cater the flying training requirements of cadets in India’s neighbouring countries.
  • These five airports have been carefully chosen since they have minimal disruption due to weather issues and civil/ military air traffic.
  • This initiative will help the Indian flying training sector in becoming more self-sustaining under the Atmannirbhar Bharat initiative.
