The Uttar Pradesh tourism department proposed this initiative in the year 2021 and said that the service is likely to start in December this year. But due to some reason this service could not be started that year.
According to IANS, "Most of the tourists, especially foreigners, visit Agra to see the Taj Mahal because of good connectivity but same tourists skip equally important other tourist destinations due to poor connectivity. The helicopter taxi service would prove an advantage for such tourists," Mukesh Kumar Meshram, principal secretary, tourism and culture said in year 2021.
Official sources said that the service will ensure tourists reach destinations and return the same day, as per IANS said.
