Urban air mobility provider BLADE India has launched services to Hilton Shillim Estate Retreat & Spa, Dharana at Shillim and Aamby Valley. After an overwhelming response on its first by-the-seat offering on Mumbai – Pune – Shirdi route, BLADE is set to further expand its services in Maharashtra with the new routes.

Customers can now reach either of the locations within 30 minutes instead of spending 4 hours driving. They can opt for BLADE services any day of the week from BLADE vertiports at Juhu and Pune for Hilton Shillim Estate Retreat & Spa and Dharana. The partnership offers holistic travel solutions wherein a BLADE customer, not just books a flight, but can also avail a 15% off on their stay at the hotel.

Travellers can also avail the services from Juhu to Aamby Valley on the weekends. Scheduled to operate on Friday and Sunday.

On the introduction of new routes, Karanpal Singh, founder of Hunch Ventures and BLADE India, says: “Bringing down commute times is at the core of urban air mobility. BLADE customers now will have more time to spend at the destinations rather than on the roads.”
