Lucknow: The UP government's plan to sell off one old aircraft and two choppers has crash landed, thanks to recession in the civil aviation sector. Dumped in the hangars of Amausi airport, the Premier 1A aircraft, Chetak and Bell 230 choppers will now be put up for sale again, sources in the civil aviation department said.
The Premier 1A aircraft, that crash-landed with cabinet minister Shivpal Yadav and one other senior minister in 2012, has been put up for sale at least three times. So is the case with Chetak and Bell helicopters which have been found wanting for a buyer.
"However, no companies came up with a respectable amount. The recession in the industry is to be blamed for this," said a government official. The department has again sought a bid for the three till February 25.
