Pawan Hans will start helicopter operations to Durgapur.
The Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Ltd (BAPL), developer of Andal airport city near Durgapur, will sign the first Memorandum of Understanding with Pawan Hans and BAPL. The MoU will ink the pact at the state secretariat, clearing the skies for the first commercial flight between the steel town and Behala.
Pawan Hans is expected to start operations within a month. BAPL officials said pacts with airlines that operate scheduled flights will happen closer to the commissioning date. While helicopter services can begin now, flight operators with fixed wing aircraft can start only after the DGCA issues a license to the airport. “The runway will be ready by October, office and ATC by August-end and passenger terminal by September. However, we have to wait till the high tension lines are removed to apply for licence,” BAPL source told the Times of India.
