Dadachanji Aviation

Dadachanji Aviation is a helicopter charter company based at Juhu Airport in Mumbai, the city's dedicated general aviation and helicopter airfield. It holds a DGCA non scheduled operator permit and flies the Airbus H130, a single engine helicopter known for its wide cabin, large windows and low noise footprint.

The company says its H130 seats five passengers plus crew and is powered by a Turbomeca Arriel 2D engine. It says the aircraft carries digital flight displays and terrain awareness systems, and that maintenance is done by certified technicians using approved parts, with inspections before and after each flight.

Its charters cover both business and leisure trips, including quick hops out of Mumbai and access to places that are slow to reach by road. Popular destinations it lists include Daman, Alibaug and Aamby Valley. It can operate from both airports and helipads.

The company owns a private helipad in Daman of about 2.5 acres, rated for aircraft up to 10 tonnes and fitted with a passenger lounge. It says the helipad is also available to other operators, and for film shoots and private or corporate events. The company says it follows stringent safety standards, and it markets the H130 as a quieter, lower emission choice for helicopter travel around Mumbai.
