For the first time, a helicopter manufactured by France’s Airbus company has been imported from China to Nepal through the Tatopani customs point. The helicopter was transported in a 40-foot container and is currently undergoing customs clearance, expected to generate around Rs. 4.12 crore in revenue.
Mountain Helicopter Pvt. Ltd. imported the helicopter from China via Tatopani customs, choosing this route instead of the narrow road through Timure. This allowed the helicopter to reach Nepal within 8–10 days. Previously, the company imported helicopters via the Kolkata port and then through Birgunj.
With this new addition, Mountain Helicopter Pvt. Ltd. will operate a total of three helicopters. Once customs clearance is complete, the new helicopter will be used for Mountain Flight operations.
