Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced the new helicopter policy on Friday. Under the new policy, 82 helicopter corridors will be developed across the country, with two connecting Pune with the Maharashtra capital. The helicopter corridors will link 10 cities throughout the nation.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has decided to develop three corridors to kick off the project.
“We are going to start with three dedicated corridors for helicopters – Juhu-Pune-Juhu, Mahalakshmi Race Course-Pune-Mahalakshmi Race Course and Gandhinagar-Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar,” Scindia said in Dehradun on Friday.
The minister also announced that the government is developing four heli-hubs – one in Mumbai’s Juhu, second in Guwahati, third in Delhi and the fourth at the HAL airport in Bengaluru.
