"In this day and age, business travellers look for something extra, cruising at 160 km per hour with a range of 480 km, helicopters allow guests to make multiple visits and return back the same day avoiding the stress associated with travelling by road and the extra cost of accommodation," Deccan Aviation Lanka CEO Denham Schokman said.The company recently introduced a helicopter schedule service connecting the international airport with major tourist destinations in the South coast.
"We see a lot of opportunities to extend our schedule to the East coast especially during the season, definite plans are underway to induct an eight-seat fixed wing aircraft which is scheduled to be in Sri Lanka early 2011 in time for the season," Schokman said.
