They will have to pay a high rent in the form of ground handling charges, landing charges and parking charges to HAL authorities.<\/p>\n<p>According to Captain K.N.G Nair, Chairman and Managing Director of Thumby Aviation, the company will do their best to reduce the cost per ticket so that the passengers don\u2019t bear a big burden. They will be ready within two weeks to start this service.<\/p>\n<p>The first Heli-taxi service started on 5<sup>th<\/sup> March 2018 and was a huge success since it took only 15 minutes to take passengers from the electronic city to KIA, which on-ground takes around 2 hours. The service operates 3 round trips in 2 slots, between 6:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The tickets cost Rs 4130 (Including GST) per person and there is a 15 kg baggage limit. If a person has more than 15kg of luggage, they can opt to transport it through CarterPorter, which is a third party service.<\/p>\n<p>4 hotels in Bangalore are keen to jump in on this opportunity and want to offer their helipads for ferrying their guests to the airport. However, this could take a few more months since a permission has to be taken from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangalore is all set to get a second Heli-Taxi service that will ferry passengers between the 2 airports within the city.
