DGCA operator permit #02/1998, valid until 14 March 2029.
Legal name: Pawan Hans Ltd.
A Non-Scheduled Operator Permit (NSOP) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation is the approval a company needs to fly charter in India. The DGCA approves the company's aircraft, pilots, maintenance and operations manual, and publishes the list of permit holders with their fleets. Privately registered aircraft cannot be chartered. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.
Pawan Hans is the Government of India's national helicopter carrier, headquartered in Noida, with about 40 years of operations, more than one million flight hours and more than 2.5 million passengers carried. It runs more than 19 operating bases across the country.
Much of its flying supports offshore oil and gas, carrying crews to platforms off India's west and east coasts, and it flies for government departments, police and disaster relief. In the hills it connects remote places by helicopter: regional connectivity flights in Uttarakhand, a Dehradun based Two Dham charter service to Kedarnath and Badrinath launched in 2025, and medical emergency transfers in Ladakh. It also runs the Pawan Hans Training Institute for helicopter pilots and leases hangar space at Rohini Heliport in Delhi.
For pilgrims and travellers to the Himalayan shrines, Pawan Hans is one of the established helicopter operators under the DGCA's oversight.
