Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on June 7 launched a national aero sports policy, which established a four-tier governance structure to promote 11 disciplines including ballooning, para gliding and aerobatics. “Multiple locations for air sports will be established across the country,” the Minister said.
“We are also thinking of creating a segregated airspace for air sports in certain corridors much like what we have done with drones. That will help in proliferating these sports,” Mr. Scindia said. “The Centre is also contemplating an incentive scheme to promote manufacturing of air sports equipment in India,” he revealed.
