Mumbai, Private ‘Helicopter Taxis’ Are Officially Open For Business

It is often while leaving for the airport hours before one’s flight time and waiting for the line at the airport counters and check in points to finally move forward, that most of us wish we had the power to teleport to places which we could use instead of going through the dreary and tiring process of taking a flight. This emotion might be common amongst Indians because it seems to have reached the ears of the service sector in the country and our prayers are slowly being answered. A private air charter provider from Delhi is helping you avoid navigating through the painstakingly long queues and endless security checks at the airport.

JetSetGo has launched a heli-taxi service from Tarapur in Maharashtra to Vapi in Gujarat and back known by the name of SkySchedule.The company will be using Bell helicopters to fly its passengers and they have the capacity to hold five travellers at a time. The fare for a ride on this air taxi is cheaper than renting a seat in a private jet and also provides the passengers with a limo transfer service afterwards. People can now cover the the road distance between the two cities faster and steer clear of the long wait and traffic.

One can avail the service everyday from Pawan Hans airport in Juhu. The airport will be flying two helicopter taxis on a daily basis. Although the fare can be a little pricey in comparison to money spent on the longer way around, it is worth the amount of time that it saves. The target audience for this service is mainly businessmen for whom time is money and who can afford to spend the amount of INR 21,000 for a seat in the air taxi. It is definitely going to be a great help to people who make trips to and fro these two destinations on a regular basis. The company already operates a private jet charter service from Mumbai to Bengaluru and plans to make the service available in cities such as Bangalore and Delhi if this project proves to be a success.

The cost per seat changes as per demand and distance.
