In India, general aviation is often equated with elitism and is not recognised as a fundamental tool for business or useful in situations where time is of the essence to speed up point-to-point access to remote areas. However, the country’s largest helicopter sales and maintenance company, Indocopters, is trying to reshape this impression.
While the restrictive mind-set, reinforced by a downturn in the economy in the past year,
may have hit the helicopter business hard, for Indocopters this has been a time for reflection, coordination and steady expansion.
