Nagpur Flying Club to take off again

Nagpur: The state government has informed the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court that it would soon be getting two flight engines that were sent for overhauling to Bangalore to restart the Nagpur Flying Club.
Moreover, the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has given permission for renewal of license for air-worthiness of the aircraft. The government has also informed that they had published advertisement for the posts of chief flight instructor, ground instructor and flight instructor and also requested Indian Air Force officials to send on deputation.
However, for all the process to materialise, the government urged the court to give a month’s time. The division bench of justices Ambadas Joshi and R C Chavan granted one-month’s time to the government for completion of formalities.
