New Delhi, June
21:
Private
helicopter service provider Global Vectra has resumed operations. The aviation
regulator, the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had suspended its
chopper service in May.
In a filing to
the Bombay Stock Exchange, Global Vectra said, the “company has received the
requisite letter from the Director General of Civil Aviation for resuming its operations”
and it would resume services immediately.
Global Vectra
has 23 choppers. It helps transport personnel of oil exploration companies such
as ONGC to their deepwater oil rigs . It also provides services to pilgrims
visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine in J&K.
Security
Clearance
The aviation
regulator suspended Global Vectra’s operator permit after the Home Ministry
withdrew security clearance to its promoter. The company is part of the Vectra
Group, promoted by Mr Ravinder Kumar Rishi ( Ravi Rishi). Mr Rishi has been in
the limelight after media reported about an alleged scam in the purchase of
Tatra trucks for the army. Tatra Truck is owned by the Vectra Group.
The company
approached the courts against DGCA’s order and has been permitted to fly.
