The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) has signed its first heli-tourism pact with Thumby Aviation headed by Captain K.N.G. Nair, a veteran with decades of experience in the aviation sector.
Each round of ride will last for 7-10 minutes, and will be operated from Shilpa Ram helipad in Tirupati at an affordable price.
Tourism Corporation’s Managing Director Girija Shankar said tourists could experience the helicopter rides from February-end, by which time the helipad would be ready to accommodate new facility.
“Andhra Pradesh has registered domestic footfalls of 9.76 crore this year as against 8.14 crore last year, marking an increase of 20 per cent. We are exploring all possible options to make AP a happening place in the tourism space. We also propose to offer point-to-point service to the interested parties from locations like Srisailam, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Vijayawada,” said Mr. Girija Shankar.
Captain Nair said he was happy to be associated with Andhra Pradesh to promote tourism with innovative ideas.
