Shree Airlines To Add Small Copters

Shree Airlines, a private helicopter company is set to add two small helicopters. As five- and six-seater helicopters are seen ahead in market competition, the company is bringing in ultra modern AS 350 B3E from Eurocopter Company within six months. Such helicopter costs around Rs 200 million.

CEO of Shree Airlines Banwari Lal Mittal said the second craft will be brought after three months of bringing the first one. Such agreement has already been made with the Eurocopter. As there is less business for large helicopters and small ones are easy to operate, they have been getting increased attraction from the operators. Currently Shree has been operating with six large MI-17s.
