Ahmedabad: After it failed to attract passengers for its intrastate flight services, Maritime Energy Heli Air Services Ltd (MehAir) is set to partner Surat based Diamond Aeronautics Ltd (DAL), an airline company owned by the diamond barons. MehAir in collaboration with Gujarat State Aviation Infrastructure Company Ltd (GUJSAIL) had launched services to three locations just 10 days before Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2015. MehAir began with first flight to Porbandar on January 2 this year and was to operate 20 flights per week to Porbandar, Bhuj and Jamnagar.
However, according to sources, MehAir has clocked merely 85 hours of operations in last three months and only 60 passengers used its services. Also MehAir has not operated for last 10 days from Ahmedabad airport.
"MehAir officials has submitted an application for surrendering their space at the airport," said a senior Airports t Authority of India (AAI) official. "We are going to partner with DAL. Since the space at Ahmedabad airport is limited, we are giving it up to share it with DAL. However our base will remain Ahmedabad," said Siddharth Verma, co-founder and director, MehAir.
