The H125, formerly known as the AS350 B3e, outperforms all other single-engine helicopters in terms of performance, adaptability, low acquisition costs, and low maintenance costs while excelling in extremely high- and hot-temperature conditions. It belongs to the Ecureuil family of Airbus, which has flown about 36 million hours globally.

The company has collaborated with Airbus and Eve Air Mobility to expand its short-haul air mobility services in India. Between Mumbai, Pune, and Shirdi in Maharashtra, the airline began operating its inaugural flights. Later, it added scheduled by-the-seat helicopter trips to Goa and Karnataka, as well as bed-to-bed air medevac service to Coorg, Hampi, and Kabini.

When asked about the proposed helicopter service between Bengaluru International Airport and HAL Airport, he noted that the majority of the airport’s 40 million yearly visitors take cabs, which cost roughly Rs 2,000. There will be a significant revenue potential if only a tiny portion of the taxi traffic is converted to a helicopter service.

Dutta said The trip to Bengaluru International Airport takes roughly two hours. On the other hand, one can use our helicopter to get to the airport in 12 minutes for Rs 3,250.

On the company’s flights, the occupancy rate is roughly 75%. In addition to expanding its network and offering its services in 10 states, he adds that the company plans to lease roughly 50 crafts over the next 24 months.
