Sarla Aviation Partners with OEC Green Developers to Explore eVTOL-Ready Infrastructure for Kerala's Emerging Leisure Destinations
We're pleased to announce a partnership between Sarla Aviation and OEC Green Developers LLP as part of our ongoing efforts to build the foundations for Advanced Air Mobility in India — and Kerala, as a premier leisure tourism destination, is a natural place to start.
At Sarla Aviation, we're actively working with the developer and hospitality community across the country to identify and plan spaces for future vertiport development. Early collaboration at the planning and design stage is critical — ensuring that next-generation air mobility integrates seamlessly with real estate, hospitality, and destination infrastructure from the ground up, not as an afterthought.
OEC Green Developers is currently developing an upcoming Taj-branded resort in Calicut, a destination rapidly emerging as a premium leisure and tourism hub in Kerala. Alongside this, OEC is also developing a luxury wellness project featuring 50 keys and a dedicated wellness centre, with construction currently underway — reflecting the growing shift toward experiential, wellness-led travel.
As leisure travel evolves, connectivity is becoming just as important as the destination itself. Today's travellers value time, convenience, and seamless access — especially when visiting resort and wellness destinations where the journey should feel like the beginning of the experience, not the most exhausting part of it.
Through this partnership, Sarla Aviation and OEC Green Developers will work together to:
- Explore how future eVTOL-ready infrastructure can be integrated into upcoming hospitality developments at the design stage
- Enable faster, more efficient access to leisure destinations — complementing road and traditional air connectivity
- Create direct aerial connectivity from international and domestic airports to resort destinations, with passengers reaching their destination in under 60 minutes
The goal is to think ahead — enabling destinations to be not just beautiful, but intelligently and effortlessly accessible.
We look forward to working closely with forward-thinking developers like OEC Green Developers as we continue building the ecosystem for sustainable, time-efficient, and next-generation regional air mobility in India.
