Flying
Schools
Weerawila is proposed as an ideal location for aviation
training schools. Such training schools can provide training to meet
International Standards from basic to advanced flying training. The
potential for foreign investment in Sri Lanka for such purpose is
extremely high due to the restrictions imposed on flying schools in
USA and reluctance of US investments on aviation in Islamic countries.
Why Weerawila
Weather conditions
Friendly Terrain
Environment is calm and conducive for training
Why not Koggala for flying schools
It
has greater potential and much to offer for Commercial, Recreational
and Sport aviation activity.
Commercial, Recreational and Sports Aviation investors /enthusiasts
would prefer a metropolitan environment, where as a flying training
environment is best to be away from such an environment
Locating
flying schools in such a location could congest the air space, but
may be accommodated if land and air space permits and operators prefer
the location above Weerawila for valid reasons.
