Airlines Site for heliport at Mumbai airport Our Bureau
New Delhi , Nov. 10 IN an effort to facilitate helicopter services between Mumbai airport and Nariman Point, , a high-powered committee from the Ministry of Civil Aviation has identified a suitable site at Mumbai airport for construction of a heliport. "The committee has identified land for a heliport in a manner that fixed wing aircraft and helicopter can function independent of each other. The facility should be ready early next year after which helicopter operations can also start," official sources said. Currently, helicopters have to fly over the runways at Mumbai airport for take off. The exact cost of construction of the heliport, which is to be built by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), is yet to be worked out, sources said. The facility, however, is likely to be used by both public and private sector helicopter operators, officials said. Recently, the Minister for Civil Aviation, Mr Rajiv Pratap Rudy, had said that the Government was also working on bringing out norms for helicopters.
