Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia Friday announced a new helicopter policy under which dedicated hubs and corridors would be established and landing charges and parking deposits abolished to boost commercial operations.
"Today, I want to announce a new helicopter policy for the whole country. We have ten steps that are going to be part of this policy," Mr. Scindia stated during his speech at the 3rd Helicopter Summit organised by industry body FICCI in Dehradun.
Under the new policy, the government is going to put together a dedicated helicopter-acceleration cell in the Civil Aviation Ministry that will look at helicopter industry's issues, the minister mentioned.
