In last few days, it is not only the foreign tourists who have benefited from this service, but locals also have been able to get the benefit. Recently, a business family from Ajmer who suffered injury in an accident also used the air ambulance service . While a third ambulance is said to have flown from Mumbai, the airport at Kishangarh was being considered as a boon for tourism sector as it will bring in tourists for Pushkar or for religious tourism at Dargah in Ajmer.
