In order to boost Toursim in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh government plan to introduce helicopter services to important temple towns from Vijayawada. Summit Aviation, a private operator, will operate the helicopter tours, while the state government will provide necessary logistical support, including ‘darshan’ for pilgrims in important temples like Tirumala.
According to Principal Secretary (Revenue-Endowments) J.S.V Prasad, Summit Aviation will initially operate heli-tourism services from Vijayawada to Tirupati and Srisailam. The state government directed collectors of Krishna and Chittoor districts to build helipads in Vijayawada and Tirupati on a war footing so as to launch the copter services soon. The existing helipad at Sunnipenta near Kurnool will also be utilised for Srisailam trip.
