Helicopter Charter Services in India

Which charter fits your plan

• Getting somewhere. A family trip, a business visit or a hill-town transfer on your own route and time is a private helicopter charter; for executives and teams see corporate helicopter charter, and for flights from Uttarakhand's capital see helicopter charter in Dehradun.
• A celebration. The couple's arrival and departure are a helicopter for wedding; petals over a wedding, temple festival or inauguration are flower showering by helicopter; a short scenic flight for a birthday or proposal is a helicopter joy ride of about 10 to 30 minutes.
• A campaign or a production. Rallies across several constituencies in a day are an election duty charter; aerial footage for a film, advertisement or documentary is a helicopter for film shooting.
• A patient. Moving a patient between towns, hospitals and remote places is an air ambulance transfer, organised around the patient's condition and the aircraft available.
• Adventure. Heli skiing runs around Manali and Gulmarg, usually from January to March, for confident off-piste skiers with a mountain guide.
• Work from the air. Survey, inspection, lifting and advertising flights are under aerial work; banners and branded flights over an event or a city are aerial advertising.

Going on yatra? Chardham, the Do Dham routes and Ek Dham Badrinath are sold as helicopter yatra packages, quoted in writing, and a whole helicopter for your own group is a pilgrim charter. We do not sell helicopter tickets. Please do not contact us for tickets.

How much notice each charter needs

• Air ambulance: arranged on an emergency basis; send the patient's location, the destination hospital and the medical needs.
• Travel and joy rides: a landing somewhere other than an airport or an established helipad needs permission, which takes time; between helipads it comes down to a helicopter being free on the day.
• Weddings: allow two to four weeks for the landing site survey, the venue owner's consent and the district administration's permission, more in the wedding season. Flower showering over a temple or a crowd also needs the location, timing and permissions reviewed first.
• Film shooting: DGCA permission for aerial photography and local administration consent come first, after a recce of the location and a shot list.
• Election tours: share the circuit early, because ECI norms, ATC slots and a helipad permission at each rally ground are arranged before the campaign flies.
• Aerial survey: usually several weeks, for airspace and, in some areas, security clearance.

How a charter quote comes together

1. You send the route or location, the date (with a spare date if you can), how many are flying with each passenger's weight, and the purpose.
2. The requirement goes to the permit-holding operators who fly that kind of mission, and they check aircraft, positioning and the permissions needed.
3. You get a written quote stating the aircraft, flying hours, what is included and how long the quote is valid.
4. The booking is confirmed once you accept and pay as the quote sets out; the operator then confirms the reporting time and place.

Charters are priced on flying hours, so the aircraft, the distance and the positioning flight from the operator's base to you and back decide most of the cost. Waiting time, night halts, landing permissions and taxes are added where they apply.

What to check before you pay

• Which operator will fly, and which aircraft; every charter is flown by a permit-holding operator, not by us.
• That the quote lists flying hours, positioning, waiting charges and taxes, and who arranges each landing permission.
• What happens if weather or a permission stops the flight. Helicopters fly in daylight and fair weather only, and the pilot has the final say on the day.
• That you pay only against the written quote, and never into a personal account.
