Flight training organizations (FTOs) raise alarm over Avgas scarcity, impacting pilot training. AFTO appeals to Civil Aviation Minister Scindia for urgent action, citing potential airline industry fallout. With FTOs reliant on Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) for uninterrupted Avgas supply, the shortage exacerbates the pilot deficit crisis. FTOs stress the need for government intervention to avert disruptions in pilot training and address the broader aviation sector challenges. The appeal underscores the critical role of Avgas in sustaining flight operations and nurturing new pilots, highlighting the urgency for collaborative solutions to mitigate the crisis's impact on the aviation industry.
