Trans Bharat Aviation

Trans Bharat Aviation is a privately held helicopter operator based at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. It holds DGCA non-scheduled operator permit 01/1991, which the regulator lists as valid until February 2029, and the company describes itself as a CAR 145 approved organisation, meaning it is also authorised to maintain its own helicopters.

The company flies across India, subject to permissions and weather, and its work falls into three strands. Charter covers corporate travel, weddings, film shoots, flower dropping, election campaigns and air ambulance flights. Heli pilgrimage covers Do Dham and Char Dham circuits in Uttarakhand, with Kedarnath seats sold through the state HeliYatra platform rather than directly. Aerial work covers LiDAR and other surveys, and the maintenance arm offers repair and overhaul support to third parties. The company states that it employs eleven pilots and runs round the clock operations support.

In May 2026 Bell announced that TransBharat Aviation had placed the first order in India for a Bell 407GXi, reported by HeliHub and Bell's own newsroom, which signals continued investment in the Bell 407 line it already flies. No third party safety audit or association membership is shown on its website. The regulator fleet includes three Bell 407 helicopters, the type used on its hill and pilgrimage routes.
