The proposed facility envisages an area of around 1,000 acres. A special purpose vehicle will be set up with strategic partners from Canada, and the Canadian government has shown keenness to support this initiative.<br \/>Meanwhile, Dale Doreen, executive director, International Centre for Aviation Management Education and Research, John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, Canada, said that it is looking at setting up a first aviation university in India for aviation education and training. &#8220;We are seeking investors and many investors have evinced interest,&#8221; he said. While the location is yet to be finalized (it is looking for 750 acres), Doreen said they would start the first batch of the course next year with a few hundred students. Initially, the university would in all probability operate from an existing campus.<br \/>&#8220;The initial budget would be about between $20m and $50m. We had been talking informally with the Government of Andhra Pradesh who have shown interest. Now we will approach them formally,&#8221; Doreen said.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">16\/10\/08 Times of India<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyderabad: Even as the aviation industry is going through turbulent times with many carriers cutting down on their capacities and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
