New Delhi: The Business Aircraft Operators' Association (BAOA) has
sought helicopters be included in the policy for promoting air
connectivity to unserved and underserved destinations.
The association of air charters and non-scheduled aircraft operators, in its recommendations on the draft policy on regional and remote connectivity, has pointed out, "The discussion paper has not taken into consideration operations for providing remote-area connectivity. Helicopters are required to be engaged due to terrain restrictions in vast areas of Jammu & Kashmir, the northeast, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. It is suggested that helicopters may also be included to provide air connectivity to underserved and unserved towns in these areas."
Among other suggestions, the association has said ground handling charges be rationalised for aircraft suited for regional connectivity. Ground handling charges range from Rs 4,000 at Pantnagar airport to Rs 26,041 at Indore airport.
