FlyBlade India, the helicopter operator, has announced that it will connect Manohar International airport at Mopa in North Goa to the Taj Exotica hotel in South Goa, starting from February 13th, 2023.
The new service aims to reduce travel time and offer convenience to travellers visiting Goa.
Twice Daily Flights from the Airport to the Hotel
The company will operate two flights each day from the airport to the hotel, accommodating up to four passengers at a time. Each passenger is allowed to carry up to 7 kg of luggage on the helicopter.
The fare for the service will be ₹6000 per person. The first return journey from the hotel will be between 11 am and 12 pm, while the second return journey will be between 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm`. The helicopter service will be offered six days a week.
Expansion Plans in North Goa
Blade India plans to expand its network in North Goa, with Fort Aguada as the next location. The new airport at Mopa has ample parking and landing slots available for charter flights, which makes it an attractive option for personalized charter services to connect destinations within Goa and neighbouring towns such as Dharwad and Hubli.
MD’s Statement on the Demand for Services
According to Amit Dutta, the Managing Director of Blade India, the company foresees a huge demand for its services due to the increasing need for travellers to make the most of their time in the state.
He further stated that people can land in North Goa and check in to their hotels in South Goa within 20 minutes, a route that otherwise takes up to three hours.
