JAIPUR: Rates of private helicopters have increased by two to three times with political parties stepping up the poll campaigns in Rajasthan.

“Bookings for private helicopters, both single engine and double engine, have been sold out since mid-September days. We are receiving requests from political leaders from Congress, BJP or RLP for hiring helicopters but we only have partial availability at present that means for a few days a week, so we are not able to meet the demands. Mostly single engine helicopters are sold out till November,” said Sohan Singh Nathawat, chief executive officer of Aone Helicopters, a Jaipur based company.
Officials said that only those choppers which cost over Rs 5 lakh for an hour are available but anything up to an hourly rate of Rs 4 lakh is sold out. “The demand will increase further now as names of most of the candidates are yet to be declared and once declared, they will also book choppers for campaigning process,” added Nathawat.
Officials from private aviation companies said that till now bookings were made by senior political leaders who usually contest from a particular seat and have started campaigning or have key posts in political parties.
