Enthral Aviation designs, builds, and manages permanent and temporary helipads — turning dead space at factories, hotels, resorts, open land, and private bungalows into professionally monetized aviation infrastructure.
Every helipad, permanent or temporary, is built around the same core zones. Understanding them is the first step in assessing whether your site is suited to one.
The inner surface the helicopter actually lands on. Sized to the largest helicopter category the site is intended to serve.
The defined area over which the final approach and initial climb are completed, surrounding the TLOF.
An additional buffer around the FATO, kept clear of obstacles, personnel, and parked vehicles during operations.
An obstacle-free corridor for the helicopter's climb and descent — the single biggest site-selection constraint.
The right classification depends on available land, existing structures, and how the site will be used.
Built directly on open land, with the FATO and TLOF at ground level. Typically the most straightforward and cost-effective option where land is available.
Built on a reinforced rooftop or elevated platform, where ground space isn't available. Common for hotels and urban commercial buildings.
Helipad construction and operation in India fall under DGCA regulations (Civil Aviation Requirements, Section 4 — Aerodrome Standards & Air Traffic Services). Exact requirements vary by site and helicopter category, and are confirmed during consultation — the fundamentals below apply broadly.
Note: This page describes general helipad fundamentals and the DGCA's broad regulatory framework for context. Exact FATO/TLOF dimensions, lighting specifications, and fire safety requirements vary by helicopter category and site, and are confirmed on a site-by-site basis during consultation — not from this page alone.
The right approach depends on your property, usage frequency, and budget.
Utilize unused industrial land for executive or logistics access.
Offer guests direct arrival, and add to the property's premium positioning.
Turn an idle plot into active, revenue-generating infrastructure.
Private helipad access for personal or family use, and for guests.
Enthral Aviation contracts directly with the property owner, and manages the helipad on their behalf end to end.
We assess whether your property is suited to a permanent or temporary helipad, and advise on the right classification.
Construction is carried out by qualified third-party contractors, with Enthral Aviation providing technical guidance throughout.
We coordinate the required landing and parking No Objection Certificate on behalf of the property owner.
We handle commercial terms with helicopter operators on your behalf, so you don't need a direct relationship with each one.
Ongoing technical input on standards, markings, lighting, and operational best practice for the helipad.
Enthral Aviation manages the helipad's operation and commercial activity on an ongoing basis, not just its construction.
Location, available space, and how you'd like to use the helipad.
We assess feasibility — including approach paths and obstacle clearance — and propose a permanent or temporary approach with indicative scope and timeline.
Construction via our contractor network, alongside NOC coordination on your behalf.
Enthral Aviation manages operator relationships and day-to-day operation going forward.
