New
Delhi: Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd. on February 21,
2009 carried its one hundred thousandth passenger to the
Vaishno Devi shrine in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. It
had started its passenger services to the holy shrine
on April 3, 2008. The company had been awarded a three-year
contract after a competitive bidding process in April
2008. Pawan Hans has not only provided the facility to
reach the holy shrine within minutes but was also instrumental
in bringing down the ticket cost from Rs 4000 to Rs 2700
for a return trip which included priority ‘darshan’. Pawan
Hans will also be starting helicopter services to Kedarnath
Dham/Badrinath dham etc. from Augustmuni/Phata during
