Things are looking up for Whanganui's international pilot academy with the District Council investing $2.78 million in 10 additional planes. The academy has recently signed a new contract with Indian airline IndiGo to train pilots in the river city. Also the town's CBD is being transformed into a pedestrian centric hub and moves are afoot to increase parking fees, currently it only costs 50 cents an hour to park in some areas.
