[6] The government is giving this airstrip to private investors for setting up their pilot training institutes and aircraft maintenance engineering institutes.This is an Aerodrome operated by the State Government.

[7] Previously, the procedure for private use of the airstrip was lengthy: The owner of the private aircraft had to contact the respective district magistrate who would further contact the directorate which would take the measures required for landing of the aircraft.

Now, according to the new order, the directorate will only give its nod and the institutes will take care of the rest.

In 2003, the state government had issued similar orders exclusively for people from the film industry.

The government has also decided to give subsidy in the landing and parking for ‘cross- country flying’ purposes, which means flying trainer aircraft from one aerodrome to another.
