I agree, but why Lalmanir Hat? What special aviation expertise exists there in that far North area?

Except being close to Indian border and their bases including Bagdogra and (the newly opened) Rupsi Airport in Koch Bihar?

Come to think of it - Chicken's neck is close by too.

But could not equate two and two to make four - why they'd establish this university in the boonies over there.

Besides we don't have a lot of big spaces for an Aviation University. An Aviation University should require at least a runway and some hangars and workshops.

Yes - it is a minor STOL port not having enough length to accommodate large commuter aircraft.

I don't know if it can accommodate even propjets like ATR72-600's used by local domestic carriers.
