The center is scheduled to start courses in the fall and will train 300 pilots a year, the minister said.

Stig Eyde, head of Central European Aviation Cluster, said they received a lot of help from the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) in taking the investment decision and can see huge potential at Héviz-Balaton Airport.
