Assam Helicopter Services

Helicopter Services in Assam are very popular in the north - eastern states of India. Guwahati, in Assam is the access point to the north- eastern states of India. Dispur, the capital of Assam is a part of Guwahati itself. The other north eastern states are not very well linked to the rest of India. Thus a thoroughfare through Guwahati is preferred by most travelers and helicopter services are widely used for these short journeys in this zone.
