The Heliport, owned by Pawan Hans, is the first of its kind in the country. The heliport is spread over 25 acres, a few kilometers away from the Rithala metro station. It consists of a terminal building having capacity of 150 passengers, four hangars with parking capacity of 16 helicopters and nine parking bays. It has been built at a cost of around 980 million rupees. The facility has separate air traffic control (ATC), fire and fuelling services. It is home to a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility to be used for the Pawan Hans fleet as well as for third-party maintenance work.
The Heliport was proposed by the Civil Aviation Ministry and approved under the Master Plan of Delhi. The Environment Ministry accorded in-principle approval to the proposal in 2011.[3]
