'Don't have cos with long-term view on helicopters'

Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha Wednesday said there are not many "sufficient
well-capitalised companies that can really take a long-term view" to establish helicopter business in India.
"We have addressed all the policy issues. If there are more to be addressed, we will address them.
This is really the question of who is an entrepreneur. So we need you all to step forward, put in the
money, and make it happen," he said.
The central government has awarded various routes under its regional connectivity scheme Udan,short for Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik, for helicopters.
"It was because of my eorts that we worked out a scheme to make it profitable to fly helicopter
shuttles in hilly areas, where obviously we can't build airports. And many of those routes have
been awarded," he said.
The people of Himachal Pradesh are desperate to have these helicopter shuttles because it will
really push the tourism in an incredible way, he said.
