Operation of aeroplanes requires the presence of airstrips and flat land where it can land or take off. In some of the remote hilly areas in the north-east, flatlands are not available for construction of long air strips. In such areas, helicopter services are more useful as they don’t require a long runway or a full-fledged airport to operate.
