He said that the ratio between the number of trainee pilots and the aircrafts would soon come at par. In his visit the Aviation Minister also visited different sections of the academy and asked the concerned staff to improve the facilities in the academy for the students. The academy would act as a budding ground for future pilots and flight commanders.
