About Pawan Hans

Pawan Hans, the flagship helicopter service provider of the Government of India, has evolved into South Asia’s largest helicopter company that maintains and operates a fleet of more than 50 helicopters. It provides a variety of services such as offshore transport, remote & regional air connectivity, heli-tourism and smart business solutions, making it the most trusted brand in the area of helicopter transport.

PHL is working on its business diversification and has devised a Strategic Plan - 2020 according to which company will be diversifying into small fixed wing and seaplane operations; Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) business and development of helipads and Heliports.

This heliport has been completed in 18 months i.e. within the stipulated timeframe. We are working to develop four “heli-hubs” in line with the concept lines of the “Airport-Hubs” and Rohini is the First step into this series. These heli-hubs will be a one-point solution for the helicopter business and will act as a helipad/heliport for public passenger services, MRO facility for helicopter maintenance and also as a skill development centre for training of pilots, AMEs & technicians.

We will provide air connectivity between Delhi and neighbouring cities from Rohini Heliport. Regional connectivity will be fully achieved when we are able to connect at least all capital cities with district headquarters by air, which can be made possible only by combination of smaller planes and helicopters for seamless connectivity.

There is plan to launch the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the company to meets its fund requirement of expansion/modernizations of its fleet soon besides other institutional funding.
