"An air taxi system would soon be ready for the key Buddhist centres and places of other historical importance in Bihar," a state tourism department official said.
The tourism department is likely to sign a MoU with Pawan Hans to start helicopter service from early 2010, he said.
Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Vaishali, Motihari, Bhagalpur and a few other places in Bihar attract foreign visitors, especially pilgrims from Japan, Indonesia and Thailand.
