A special training has begun for security personnel at the airport from 22 October. The training would go on till 1 November. Air Deccan authority and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security have taken the initiative to provide required training to selected security personnel.
Twenty-eight policemen and five Air Deccan men are undergoing training. They may be deployed for security of the airport after resumption of air service from this airport, a senior police official, said.

Asked about the resumption of air service from Cooch Behar Airport, Cooch Behar ADM (D) Mr Pannalal Mahapatra said they are yet to get any information over the matter. Cooch Behar Airport officials had conveyed that a trial flight may be conducted on 23 or 24 October but nothing has happened so far.

"On earlier occasions also we were conveyed of resumption of air service and trial flight but nothing happened," he said. Mr Mahapatra made it clear that this time they are not in a mood to say anything about the revival of air service.
