Mallya plans Mumbai-Pune chopper service

Mumbai: Mumbai to Pune in 19 minutes flat, promises liquor baron and Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya. His team is now in the process of giving final touches to a business plan that proposes an air link between the financial capital and the satellite city, by utilising the Mahalaxmi and Pune racecourses. The plan is to commence with six daily flights on a 15-seater chopper.
Mallya had initially planned it as an exclusive service for Kingfisher First passengers, however, it has “transcended well beyond a service for first class guests” and will be a scheduled passenger service now.
An Indian Air Force (IAF) base, currently no additional civil flights are allowed at the Pune airport between 6 am and 10 pm.
