FlyBlade India will operate this service from Bengaluru’s HAL airport at around 9.30 am every day and will return on the same day in the evening by 4 pm from Tirupati. The bookings can be made through the FlyBlade India website, said the company. Tirupati is already equipped with a domestic airport as pilgrims from all over the country visit the temple town.

In October last year, FlyBlade India India has also launched a chopper service from HAL airport to Kempegowda International Airport. It was started to reduce the two-hour commute time from the city to the airport to a quick 15-minute ride. It also runs a chopper service to Coorg and Kabini areas in Karnataka from Bengaluru.

In February this year, FlyBlade India joined hands with Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC). While the GTDC services are primarily joy rides, Blade India also provides to and from the airport to their destination services for the tourists.
