 "MTDC launches amphibian plane services from Mumbai")
The company’s amphibian planes will eventually connect Mumbai with state tourist destinations adjacent to suitable water bodies even though there are no runways at these destinations.
The seaplane service is being launched with a Cessna 206 Amphibian and another Cessna 208 Amphibian aircraft will be inducted by April. Both these two models can accommodate 4 to 9 passengers respectively.
In the first phase of its operations in Maharashtra, MEHAIR will gradually roll out its service to destinations like Ambay Valley lake, Gangapur Dam (Nashik), Mula Dam (Meherabad/Shirdi), Pawna Dam (Lonavla), Varasgaon Dam (Lavasa) and Dhoom Dam (Panchgani/Mahabaleshwar).
In the second phase of the operation MEHAIR will connect Mumbai with Konkan coast like Ganpatipule, Harihareshwar, Tarkarli and Murud Janjira. This will be followed by flights from Mumbai to Marathwada and Vidarbha.
