Guwahati: The government has decided to turn Guwahati into a helicopter
hub to promote tourism in the northeastern states, Minister of State for
Civil Aviation, Tourism and Culture Mahesh Sharma said on Friday.
"We have taken a decision to turn Guwahati into a helicopter hub and are acquiring a hangar at the airport there for this purpose," Sharma told media persons here.
"This is part of our efforts to promote tourism in the eight northeastern states," he said.
According to the minister, state-run Pawan Hans Helicopters will purchase new helicopters for this purchase.
He, however, did not specify the make of helicopters that would fly around tourists in the region because of the rugged terrain and connectivity problems.
