India’s Heritage Aviation has placed an order for Airbus H125 and H130 helicopters to operate under the Government of India’s regional connectivity scheme, ‘Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik’ (UDAN). The Ministry of Civil Aviation has streamlined norms for helicopters in the UDAN scheme, making it more attractive for operators.
Rohit Mathur, CEO of Heritage Aviation, sees UDAN as a game-changer, stating, ”UDAN scheme is a sure shot game-changer and is proving to be a turning point for helicopters in India.”
