Mumbai: In a new year offering from the government, Mumbaikars and tourists can now get a spectacular aerial view of the city’s unique cityscape with Maharashtra government launching “Mumbai Darshan” helicopter flights from next week.
The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) and Pawan Hans Ltd, have inked an agreement to start chopper rides over Mumbai from January 7.
Officials said the helicopter rides will be operated in Bell-206 L4 choppers that can seat six passengers besides the pilot. “Flights will take off from Pawan Hans’ airport at Juhu and fly north, keeping to the city’s west to ensure that these flights do not interfere with the existing air traffic to and from Mumbai airport,” an official said.
