Ahmedabad to Welcome Seaplane; Lakshadweep Services Soon


Ahmedabad is set to welcome its first seaplane on Wednesday, marking a new milestone in India's aviation sector. The seaplane, which will land at the Sabarmati Riverfront, is part of a broader initiative to expand air connectivity in the country, particularly for remote and difficult-to-reach regions.

Following the arrival in Ahmedabad, regular seaplane services are expected to begin soon, with plans to extend the network to Lakshadweep. These services will significantly reduce travel time and offer a new, efficient mode of transport to the islands. This development is seen as a significant step in enhancing tourism and facilitating quicker movement for both locals and visitors in the region.

The seaplane service is also expected to boost the regional economy by promoting tourism and providing access to underserved destinations. As part of the government's push for alternative transport options, seaplanes are becoming a viable option for improving connectivity in coastal and island areas.

This move aligns with the government's vision to increase air connectivity in a sustainable manner while promoting regional tourism, ease of travel, and infrastructure development.
