Tourism in Madhya Pradesh just took off at a faster speed. With the aim to give the tourism sector a further boost in Madhya Pradesh, air taxi services will be introduced between four major cities in the state from September 7.
The cities of Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur and Gwalior will now be connected by air taxi services to be launched by Ventura Air Connect Private Limited in association with the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (“MPTDC”)
The first flight will take off from Bhopal’s Raja Bhoj Airport on September 7. Two nine seater aircrafts will be pressed into services for this venture. MPTDC chairman Mohan Yadav said, “"This is for the first time in the country that the air taxi services will be provided by any state in the tourism sector."
Apart from the four cities, the company also plans to start air services to popular tourist destinations in the state such as Pachmarhi, Kanha, Khajuraho and Ballabgarh to cash on the rich tourism potential of these places.
Apart from promoting tourism, the introduction of air taxi services between the major cities of the state will also help in the business and economic sector by reducing loss of time, a major factor in the business arena.
Similar to air taxi services to be introduced in Madhya Pradesh, heli services have been recently introduced in the state of Karnataka at important tourist destinations such as Hampi.
