India's First Heliport Set To Open In Delhi — Will It Help You Beat The Traffic?
India's first Heliport will come in the capital city of Delhi and will be inaugurated on February 28, 2017.
Flying to and from Delhi in a chopper will be a reality from February 28, 2017, when the country's first dedicated heliport will be inaugurated.

Connecting the capital to nearby areas by helicopter, the Rs 100 crore Pawan Hans project in the neighbouring city of Rohini will feature nine parking bays, an air-conditioned passenger terminal that can hold up to 150 people.

Also included are four hangars with a parking capacity of 16 choppers, and a car-parking zone for flyers. Along with it is a helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) unit.

Pawan Hans stated last year, "To promote regional air connectivity, Pawan Hans has also prepared a roadmap to connect all the major destinations from this heliport, such as Delhi to Shimla, Haridwar, Dehradun, Mathura, Agra, Meerut, industrial hubs such as Manesar and Bahadurgarh, etc."

R N Choubey Aviation secretary said, "Being a busy airport, IGI airport does not have much space for helicopter movement. The Rohini one will be a dedicated heliport and will make chopper movement much easier."

If the helicopter is not your choice of travelling distances, then consider the all-new Ford Endeavour SUV, below is an extensive photo gallery, click to view.
