A Hyderabad-based start-up, Hercules Aviation Training School, is expected to use Salem airport to train pilots after it gets the required permission from the Union government. The start-up is run by Indian Air Force veterans.
The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) gave a no objection certificate on August 17 to set up a flying club. The start-up was then given parking and maintenance space at the airport for its aircraft. The school held a roll-out ceremony on October 17 at the airport hangar.
Captain Abhinav Singh, a retired Indian Air Force pilot and founder and Chief Executive Officer of the school, said the start-up had been allotted a hangar at Salem Airport and, at present, permitted only to park and maintain aircraft.
