A Stylish And Expensive Addition To Indian Wedding Ceremonies: Helicopter Farewells

Satbir, a villager, was upset because he had originally planned to say goodbye to his daughter-in-law in a helicopter but unanticipated events made it impossible. But Satbir took advantage of the opportunity to fulfill his dream on his daughter-in-law’s second goodbye, choosing instead to take a helicopter to his son’s in-laws’ home in Nangthala village, Hisar.

It’s now simple to give your wife a helicopter goodbye to make your wedding unforgettable. It’s as easy to reserve a helicopter for your big day as it is to reserve a vehicle. Depending on your preferences and budget, the cost, time, and required licenses for helicopter reservations vary.

Helicopters are usually booked on an hourly basis for non-wedding occasions, according to Badri Helicopters owner Praveen Jain. As helicopter weddings become more and more common, aviation businesses are starting to provide pre-arranged packages for the bride’s leaving. These packages vary in price from Rs 4 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, based on things like the helicopter’s seating capacity and the distance to the destination.

In Delhi-NCR and Haryana, Praveen Jain’s firm now sells a five-seater helicopter for Rs 4,50,000. The cost of renting in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and the surrounding regions rises to over Rs 6,00,000. The cost of bringing the bride from Punjab’s Amritsar and Jalandhar to Delhi-NCR is around Rs 5 lakh. In addition, the cost of transportation from Banaras to Delhi-NCR is almost Rs 9,00,000.

According to Praveen Jain, the helicopter is available for two hours as part of the package. Most people want the helicopter to show there just before the send-off so they can grab their daughter-in-law and go off. Additional payment at the helicopter’s hourly rate is required if the helicopter must remain longer due to circumstances. The exact extra charge differs across operators.

You may reserve a helicopter online or off, depending on your budget. Online helicopter booking options are available on several popular travel websites. Alternatively, you may visit the G-5 building in front of Delhi Airport’s Terminal One to make offline reservations. Renowned aviation firms that hire helicopters have offices in this skyscraper.

Helicopter landing and takeoff need two different kinds of clearances, as Captain Yogesh Gupta explains. The Air Force grants the first permit, and the airport authority or local government must provide the second. Nevertheless, helicopter pilots usually take care of obtaining all required permits, so there are no worries for the parties concerned. Furthermore, the representative of the helicopter operator is in charge of locating the landing spot, getting it ready for the helicopter, painting a “H,” and producing a certain kind of smoke just before landing.
