In Karnataka, the Pilot Training School in Jakkur will reopen as soon as the Directorate General of Civil Aviation gives its clearance for the new runway. State Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Dr. Narayana Gowda informed that the renovation of the flying school is complete and ready for operation subject to clearance. He added that the DGCA team has already inspected the facility and clearance is expected by this month-end. <br />''<br />''Tentatively, it is proposed to keep the opening ceremony in the first week of next month. The Sports and Youth Affairs Department has spent around two crore rupees to build the new 974-metre long runway. The flying school can train 40 youngsters per session. The school had remained closed since the last four years due to lack of infrastructure and training aircraft.<br />''<br />''<br />''<br />
