Visakhapatnam: Even as Visakha Utsav drew to a close on Sunday evening, the much-awaited helitourism project that was announced last January is yet to take wings in the port city. According to sources, the helitourism project is awaiting nod from the ministry of civil aviation to be taken up under the regional connectivity scheme.
Sources said while the helipad has already been constructed at the MGM Park, the helicopter service taking tourists from Vizag to Araku will only be able to take off once the civil aviation ministry gives its approvals.
Vuda sources said Skychoppers Private Limited, which had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for beginning the service, had already submitted its applications to the ministry. "There are some technical queries related to the project and under the regional connectivity scheme. As soon as those are cleared, the service should take off," a Vuda official said.
