Don’t deal with Ravi Rishi’s chopper firm, warns MHA

After the Delhi High Court stayed the decision of the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to suspend the flying permit of Tatra scam accused Ravi Rishi’s Global Vectra Helicorp, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a general instruction against “anyone entering into fresh contract with the firm” citing intelligence inputs.
Global Vectra Helicorp provides helicopter services to various tourist destinations and is hired by VVIPs, state governments and also services the oil and gas exploration as well as the production sector in India.
Though the DGCA has gone into an appeal against the stay order, the Vectra group resumed its operations in June this year.
The DGCA had suspended Global Vectra’s permit on May 7 this year on the recommendations of the MHA after it raised security concerns about the firm. The government also withdrew security clearance of Rishi who is facing allegations of irregularities in the supply of Tatra trucks to the Army.
