Kolkata: Bengal Aerotropolis Projects (BAPL), the specialised infrastructure company which is currently developing India's first private greenfield aerotropolis at Durgapur, inked an MoU with Pawan Hans - a government of India enterprise, to introduce helicopter services between Kolkata and Durgapur. The alliance is a progression of the successful trial flight conducted earlier by Pawan Hans wherein BAPL had provided relevant infrastructure in its Durgapur Airport.
The introduction of helicopter service from BAPL's Durgapur Airport attains much relevance, considering it denotes that the airport is near ready for operations for commercial passenger aircraft of domestic carriers, having completed over 98% of its construction activities. Once the final approval from the Director General of Civil Aviation comes in, the airport will become the first (among 21 such projects in the country) operational greenfield airport by the first quarter of 2014.
