Govt to set up Aviation University

Considering huge employment opportunity in the aviation sector, the government is going to establish an aviation university in the country, said Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon.

"There is huge scarcity of skill human resources for our aviation industry. We have taken an initiative to set up an aviation university to mitigate the shortage of competent manpower of the sector", he said while speaking at a seminar at a city hotel.

The minister said aviation sector is expanding in a fast pace and its spectrum is getting bigger day by day. "But we are yet to expand our aviation sector by keeping parity of the international velocity", he said.
