How helicopter charter works in Mumbai
Helicopter charter in Mumbai is mostly about time. Road trips out of the city can take hours in traffic, while Pune, Nashik and Shirdi are under an hour away by helicopter.
Helicopters leave from the main airport or from a site approved for landing. Mumbai’s airspace is busy and tightly controlled, so take-off times and routes are agreed in advance.
Shirdi and Nashik are common trips for families and pilgrims, and Pune for business. For coastal sites and project locations with no runway, a helicopter is often the only practical aircraft.

How we calculate
- Distance: straight line between the two airports, from OurAirports coordinates (public domain, 2026-09-28).
- Flying time: the distance plus 10%, divided by the typical cruise speed of the helicopters on our list, plus 25 minutes for start-up, climb and landing. An estimate, not a schedule; weather and the landing site decide on the day.
- Helicopter figures: our aircraft specification sheet, typical civil and charter configurations (2026-09-17).
