New Delhi , Dec. 19

The Government has given permission for the establishment of five more training institutes, even as flying clubs are being upgraded by inducting new equipment and aircraft to help overcome the shortage of pilots faced by the domestic civil aviation sector.

This emerged at the meeting of the Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Civil Aviation held here on Tuesday.

At the meeting, Members of Parliament raised a number of issues including the need for improved ground-handling services at airports, the need for employee representation in the core group looking into the proposed merger of Air India and Indian, and disturbances in the schedule of Air India due to VIP movements.

Besides, the impact of indiscriminate pricing by low-cost airlines and high cost of aviation turbine fuel on the entire industry was also raised.
