Helihop to international airport

Bangalore: Deccan Aviation will begin shuttle helicopter services from Bangalore city to the upcoming international airport at Devanahalli from March 30, the day the airport becomes operational.
The shuttle service will operate from four prime locations that sport helipads or have the space to allow a helicopter to operate from. These are UB City, Palace Grounds, Infosys campus and Electronic City.
This service will, in effect, bring down the arduous commuting time of 2-3 hours from the airport to the city via road to just 10-15 minutes.
Deccan will initially operate two helicopters — a seven-seater Bell helicopter and a five-seater Eurocopter. The frequency of the service is likely to be between half-an-hour and one hour.
