Is BookHelicopter.com the website of Aryan Aviation, Deccan Charters or Heritage Aviation?

No. BookHelicopter.com is independent and is not the official website of any operator. The operator flying your sector is named on your quote and confirmation, and its own permit and terms apply.

How do I book a Kedarnath helicopter with an operator such as Aryan Aviation from Guptkashi?

Kedarnath shuttle tickets from Guptkashi, Phata and Sersi are sold only on IRCTC HeliYatra, heliyatra.irctc.co.in, whichever operator flies the sector. BookHelicopter.com does not sell them.

How much does a helicopter from Deccan Charters or another operator cost?

There is no single fare. A charter depends on the route, the aircraft, the date and the permissions needed, so prices are on request: send the route, date and passengers and you get a written quote before anything is paid.

Which operators fly the Chardham and Do Dham from Dehradun?

Several permit-holding operators fly sectors from Dehradun, and the one flying your package is named on your quote and confirmation. See the Chardham Yatra by helicopter and the Do Dham Yatra by helicopter.

Q: How do I check that a helicopter operator is genuine?

Ask for its operator permit certificate number. A legitimate operator gives it without hesitation, and the regulator publishes the list of current holders. Pay only IRCTC, the Shrine Board, the operator or a written quote, never a personal account.

How to check a helicopter operator

Anyone offering helicopter charter services in India without a valid operator permit is operating illegally, whatever their website says. Ask for the certificate number. A legitimate operator will give it without hesitation, and the regulator publishes the list of current holders so you can check it yourself.

Pay only IRCTC, the Shrine Board, the operator, or a written quote from a company you have checked, never into a personal account.
A seat offered on social media or by phone, with pressure to pay today, is a fake.
Check that the name on the quote matches the operator named on your confirmation.
