While the heli-tourism project was expected to be launched by Dasara, sources said the proposal for helicopter rides from Vizag to Araku is yet to receive clearance from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
According to the sources, officials from the DGCA had recently visited the city and inspected the site for the helipad and also suggested slight changes related to the alignment of the helicopter services being planned for tourists. They said the helicopter rides are expected to take off only after the DGCA issues the requisite clearance for the project.
Vuda sources said the helipad near the Vuda Park has already been constructed and is ready for use by heli-tourism operator Skychoppers Private Limited.
Meanwhile, Vuda vice-chairman T Babu Rao Naidu told TOI that a showcause notice has been issued to the heli-tourism operator to explain the reasons for the delay in starting the service. He said Vuda has provided all the necessary facilities required for the helitourism project.
