The capital will soon get India's first dedicated “heliport“ for flying in and out of Delhi to nearby areas in choppers. The Rs 100-crore project will be inaugurated on February 28 and will be an integrated one with a chopper maintenance, repair and overhaul unit part of the complex at Rohini.
Owned by Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd. the hugely-delayed heliport will have a large number of parking bays and an AC passenger terminal building with car parking area for the flyers.
The heliport will bring choppers within the reach of common man. Only top VVIPs and industrialists manage to get permission for flying in or out of IGI in choppers. The country's top dignitaries, including the president, prime minister, home minister and chief ministers of a few states, use choppers from Safdarjung airport.
Pawan Hans had successfully carried out the first trial test landing an Eccuriall B3 chopper exactly a year ago to assess standard operating procedures and safety standards.Since then it has carried out many more tests. This heliport has a terminal building having capacity of 150 passengers, four hangers with parking capacities of 16 helicopters and 9 parking bays.
