Soon, helicopters may land and take off from complexes that will come up along the national highways (NHs). The road transport ministry has approved a plan to develop such wayside amenities at every 50 km and most of these sites will have helipad facility.

SNP Insights:

MoRTH's approval to create way side amenities with helipad facilities may create a new segement of highway users by integrating both airways and roadways transportation. These way side amenities which will be created in two phases may open new opportunities for the private/public chopper service providers coupled with a certain boost to tourism along highways. Faster reach of rescue across National Highways in case of mishap can be another outcome of this initiative.
