Independent India’s first planned city, Aamby Valley witnessed the successful launch of the first seaplane service in Maharashtra. The service was started in collaboration with The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) and Maritime Energy Heli Air Services Pvt Ltd (MEHAIR). The companies’ amphibian planes will eventually connect Mumbai with state tourist destinations adjacent to suitable water bodies. The service will save a lot of travel time for the users given that the aircraft will take a far lesser time to connect two points as opposed to road or rail journeys. MEHAIR is consciously pricing the service to suit all pockets.
