Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the government’s goal is to make air travel not merely a means of transport, but also a delightful experience. Madhya Pradesh will offer its citizens and tourists both modern amenities and a warm cultural touch. He said that we are not only bridging distances, but also uniting hearts and experiences. The helicopter tourism service will set new benchmarks in the tourism sector. This facility will not only save time for tourists and travelers but will also offer a unique combination of faith, spirituality, tourism, and experience - all in one journey.
The objective is to connect major tourist destinations of the state by air, bridging distances and saving time. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Madhya Pradesh has become the first and only state in the country to start Air Ambulance and Helicopter Tourism Services (Intra-State Air Services).
The Chief Minister was addressing a function held at Raja Bhoj International Airport, where he launched several key and innovative initiatives in tourism and aviation on the occasion of the 70th Foundation Day of Madhya Pradesh. These include the “PM Shri Aerial Tourism Helicopter Service,” “Digi Yatra,” “Flybrary,” “Kids Play Zone,” and the upgraded CAT-II ILS system.
Dr. Yadav flagged off the PM Shri Tourism Helicopters and formally launched the service. He inaugurated the event by lighting the ceremonial lamp and handed over boarding passes to Minister of State (Independent Charge) for OBC & Minority Welfare, Smt. Krishna Gaur, and Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Culture & Tourism, Shri Dharmendra Singh Lodhi, marking the commencement of the heli-tourism service.
