The members of this Committee had recently visited Addu City regarding the Flying School issues to discuss about how the issues that are being faced by the students of the Flying School can be solved at the earliest.
During the two day trip to Addu City, the committee met with the students who are studying at the flying school, higher authorities of the flying school, Addu City Council and the members of CAA as well.
Over the past months, several complaints from the students of the Flying School have caught the attention of many people through social media.
Some of the issues faced by the students include of having their courses extended to more than four years for local students although it should be completed within 18 months. This is because the school has not conducted the required classes on time, and hence the extensions have caused extensive financial strain on students.
