The state government is planning to start flying clubs at state airports. There are plans to start flying clubs at almost all the airports in the state. Flying clubs may operate at airports like Varanasi, Lucknow, but introducing new arrangements in Prayagraj, Kanpur and Gorakhpur will not be easy. The flying club has to take permission from the Air Force and the Central Civil Aviation Department.
