Taj applies for more chopper licences

New Delhi: After getting a rooftop helipad at its Wellington Mews hotel in Mumbai only for the use of top company honchos, the Taj Group has applied for operating helicopters on an island near its famous Lake Palace hotel in the midst of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. The group has also applied for helipad licence for its Hyderabad property, Taj Krishna.
In Udaipur, the group wants to operate to Arsi Vilas — an exclusive island on the lake that was built in 18th century by the local ruler for watching sunsets. This island is very close to the Lake Palace hotel. Interestingly, both these places have been sites for Hollywood shootings with James Bonds' 'Octopussy' being shot at the palace some decades back and Liz Hurley doing a photo shoot at Arsi Vilas two years back.
