India's first Aviation Park to set up in Ahmedabad



The Gujarat Government in order to strengthen the aviation sector in the state has planned to come up with India's first-ever Aviation Park in Gujarat. The park will have facilities like training school, helipad, airstrip and space for creating small manufacturing units.


The officials of the Gujarat State Aviation Infrastructure Company Ltd (GUJSAIL) said that the prime aim of setting up this park is to raise awareness about the potential of the aviation sector among students, professionals, policy makers and business entities.

GUJSAI has recently identified a piece of land near Bagodara village, about 30 kms from Ahmedabad to carry out the project.

GUJSAIL CEO Captain Ajay Chauhan said that the park will serve as a one-stop destination in the avenues of aerospace training, research, recreation and manufacturing. Chauhan further said that they want to set up a complete eco-system where everything related to aviation sector is easily available under one roof.

The park initially will provide a platform for informing people about the aviation activities. The park apart from a theatre and an info-tech area, will also have space for organising air-shows and other adventure sports related to aviation. Chauhan also said the park will provide an aviation and aerospace management school, training complex having flight simulator, an aircrew training school, a landing strip for smaller aircrafts and a helipad for professionals.


According to Chauhan the first phase of the park may be open by the end of next financial year of 2016-17.He said that the second phase of development will focus on to attract various national and international industrial houses to build their manufacturing facilities in this park. He added that in the later stages the aviation park will have small manufacturing units to produce spare parts for aircraft.
