Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) along with Girisons Airways started heli tourism in Mumbai on September 27th 2015. The helicopters will operate from Juhu airport every Sunday for 15 minutes, and the fare is INR 3,939, excluding taxes.
Mumbai has the most amazing skyline, an impressive and breath-taking view. There are many tourist spots that look outstanding from an aerial view. The idea is to provide an enthralling experience to tourists and boost potential tourism in state. Mumbai attracts many foreign and domestic tourists, and heli tourism will definitely help in increasing footfalls.
The tour on the helicopter is planned for tourists who have less time in hand to explore the city. The Mumbai scenic tours will soon be followed by helicopter tours to Elephanta Island, Ajanta & Ellora Caves, and later to Shirdi.
