STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1809-12
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2012
RE: S.C.R. No. 156
S.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 156, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE CREATION OF AN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION TRAINING CENTER AT THE HILO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND AN ADVANCED AVIATION DEGREE TRAINING PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The Department of Transportation and the University of Hawaii at Hilo supported the intent.
The demand for pilots is expected to soar with Boeing forecasting the need for over 27,000 new pilots a year and if military cutbacks occur we could see the traditional supply of trained pilots diminishing. The Hilo International Airport is an ideal venue as it is less busy than other airports providing a safer training environment as well as being in close proximity to the UH Hilo campus.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 156, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
