Thumby Aviation/HeliTaxii

Thumby Aviation Pvt. Ltd. is a helicopter services company with its office in Yelahanka, Bengaluru, Karnataka. It also uses the HeliTaxii brand, which is linked from its website. The company's leadership listed on its site includes Capt Dr KNG Nair as Chairman and Managing Director and Govind Nair as CEO.

Its listed services cover private helicopter charters, VIP transfers and heli-taxi flights, alongside pilgrimage packages for the Char Dham and Do Dham yatras in Uttarakhand and shuttle flights for routes such as Kedarnath and Manimahesh. The company also lists aerial tours, event flying, aerial survey and mapping, government work such as medical evacuation and rescue, and consultancy on helipad planning and heliport management.

In March 2018 Thumby Aviation launched a heli-taxi service between Electronic City and Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, which press reports described as cutting the trip to about 15 minutes. Coverage at the time said the service used Bell 407 helicopters seating up to six passengers.

The company's website does not name a current fleet, aircraft types or the operator certificate under which flights are conducted, so flyers booking a charter should ask which operator and aircraft will be used and confirm the operator's DGCA permit.
