Goa, in association with BLADE India, has launched three helicopter services in order to boost tourism in the Goan hinterlands. Heli tourism services in the state will offer better connectivity to the tourists as well as residents. The helicopters will provide better connectivity from Goa airport to North, South and Old Goa. Also, there will be private charter services from Maharashtra. With the heli services, tourists can now get better views of the stunning Goan coasts and also take in the aerial view of the Western Ghats region and the Goan hinterlands.
BLADE has three landing points - North Goa (in Surla), South Goa and Old airport -- available to it for operating its services in the state, as per the company. The aim of heli-tourism services is to make places more accessible through short-haul air mobility, said Amit Dutta, managing director at BLADE India.
