Flights can be booked like any other air ticket at an initial cost of ₹3,250, excluding taxes. “Our success lies in being able to democratize urban air mobility. While helicopter services are a premium product, with today’s launch we can offer an accessible entry point,” said <keyword id="341511" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="amit-dutta" source="Orion">Amit Dutta</keyword>, managing director, BLADE India. The launch of this intra-city service will allow fliers to skip the painful road commute to the city and opt for a quick 12-minute flight instead. A cab ride from Bangalore international airport to <keyword id="86569" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="hindustan-aeronautics-limited" source="Orion">Hindustan Aeronautics Limited</keyword> (HAL) airport costs over ₹1,300 and takes over two hours. HAL is very close to popular locations in the city such as Indiranagar, Koramangala, and other IT parks. The route between Bengaluru airport and HAL will be operational from October 10 and is now open for bookings on the BLADE India website or through the <keyword id="15110006" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="flier-relations" source="Orion">Flier Relations</keyword> team. BLADE plans to introduce more routes to Whitefield and Electronic City. “Today’s launch is a significant milestone for us. It not only addresses the concerns mounting over congestion in Bengaluru city but paves the way for our future taxi service of eVTOL aircraft,” Dutta said. BLADE works with partners like AIRBUS and Eve Air Mobility to deliver affordable air transportation. These partnerships will also eventually help swap conventional helicopters with Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft that use electric power, claims BLADE India. The company launched its maiden flights in Maharashtra between Mumbai, Pune and Shirdi in November 2019. It expanded its scheduled by-the-seat helicopter flights to Coorg, Hampi, and Kabini in Karnataka; and Goa.

He also said the company will be launching helicopter service between Bengaluru International Airport and HAL on weekdays starting October 10 at Rs 3,250 per seat. The company will subsequently introduce more routes to Whitefield and Electronic City, he added. "A wholly owned subsidiary in Gujarat's Gift City has placed orders for a couple of helicopters with Airbus. The helicopters will have a seating capacity of 5/6 persons. The first helicopter is expected to be delivered this October/November," Amit <keyword id="1036" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="dutta" source="Orion">Dutta</keyword>, Managing Director told IANS. He said the subsidiary company will lease the helicopter to operators from whom Fly Blade will hire for its operations," Dutta added. The Fly Blade is a joint venture between the US-based BLADE Urban Air Mobility Inc. and the New Delhi-based venture capital firm, Hunch Ventures, which began its operations in 2019. The company has partnered with Airbus and Eve Air Mobility to expand its short-haul air mobility services in India through fleet expansions.

Speaking about the proposed helicopter service between Bengaluru International Airport and HAL Airport, he said annually about 40 million people visit the airport and majority of them by taxis that charge about Rs 2,000. Converting a small percentage of the taxi traffic to helicopter service will be a sizable revenue potential. "It takes about two hours to reach the Bengaluru International Airport.

According to him, similar service will be offered in <keyword id="826" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="goa" source="Orion">Goa</keyword>.
