Seaplane service to provide air connectivity from Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad to Statue of Unity in Kevadia in Gujarat is scheduled to start from October 31, the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel.

A high-level meeting was organized on Saturday in Gandhinagar to review the progress of the water aerodrome operation in Gujarat.

An official release said that Gujarat government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Union Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), and Airports Authority of India in July to start the first-ever “seaplane services in Gujarat” to provide seamless and affordable air connectivity from Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad to Statue of Unity in Kevadia.

The service will be operated by Spicejet Airline from Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad to Statue of Unity in Kevadia. India’s riverine network and water bodies offer ample opportunities for seaplanes to emerge as a viable alternative to travel by road, train or conventional flight. It could very well be the new way ahead to promote tourism off the beaten track.
