A MoU has been signed between the Maharashtra Tourism
Development Corporation (MTDC) and Pawan Hans to provide city tours on a
helicopter for tourists. The new Heli-Tours commenced its service.
The helicopters would take off from Juhu
airport and fly northwards, keeping to the city’s western side to avoid
interfering with air traffic to/from Mumbai airport. The base fare of
approximate Rs 320 per minute excluding taxes has been arrived at
between the state government and Pawan Hans, with a 10 minute inaugural
launch ride to cost about Rs 3200, per person.
The helpline will be managed by Tata Business Support Services using its network of call centres.
Addressing the launch ceremony, Dr Sharma said the
hotline marked “the fulfilment of the promise made to the people”, with
regards to the prioritisation of the safety and security of tourists.
The call centres will be able to assist travellers who encounter
problems while travelling in India.
Paraag Jaiin Nainuttia, IAS, MD of MTDC, said,
“Initially two choppers will be in service for Mumbai Darshan. The idea
is to provide an enthralling experience to the tourists and boost
potential tourism in the state. Gradually, we will shift rides and tours
to south Mumbai and then to Matheran, Murud-Janjira, Aurangabad
(Ajanta-Ellora), Nashik, Shirdi, Konkan beaches and Tadoba forest near
Nagpur.”
