Vectra aviation launches chopper service from Greater Noida

New Delhi: What if Greater Noida does not have an airport? A Heli-base has already come up in the sprawling suburb, where the Uttar Pradesh government has proposed to locate a new international airport, and chartered chopper services would be launched by Vectra aviation, a private helicopter company, from July 15.
In the first phase, Vectra Aviation Pvt Ltd would offer chartered services to Agra, Jaipur, Ludhiana, Dehradun, Rishikesh, Chandigarh, Shimla, Badrinath and Kedarnath.
Vectra, which already has a fleet of three helicopters of EADS firm Eurocopter, has launched a separate division called Heliair, to provide dedicated on-shore chartered services across the country.
The Greater Noida facility would also function as the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility for Eurocopter choppers in India, estimated to cost about six million euros.
