Panaji: Goa tourism development corporation's (GTDC) seaplane project, to be operated by Maritime Energy Heli Air Service Pvt Ltd (MEHAIR), is likely to take off this month.
Months ago, GTDC had signed an MoU with MEHAR for operating the sea plane service in Goa. Stating that "everything is ready", GTDC chairman Nilesh Cabral said that two planes have arrived, and once inspection of the water aerodrums is carried out, they will be able to start the sea plane service this month itself.
"The inspection of the water aerodrum was scheduled for this week. I was out of station the last few days so I'm not sure if the inspection has been carried out," said Cabral.
The GTDC hopes this seaplane project will help boost its image in the tourism sector.
Earlier, GTDC had planned to launch the service in December 2014 but had to defer the plan due to delay in getting permissions.
