Nashik: Despite heavy opposition from environmentalists, the much-touted
commercial seaplane service in Nashik will finally start from June 15.
The promoters of the service visited the city on Tuesday to complete the
formalities and announce the services.
The Maritime Energy Heli Air Services Pvt Ltd (MEHAIR) had conducted a trial landing on Gangapur dam on November 3, 2014. The aviation company got the clearance from the director general of civil aviation (DGCA) in May.
The nine-seater seaplane, Cessna 208A, which can land both on water and land and can carry up to nine passengers onboard, will initially fly from Nashik (Ozar airport) to Pune (Amby Valley, Lavasa and Lohegaon). The services, in association with the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC), will gradually be extended from Juhu to the backwaters of Gangapur dam.
The promoters of the seaplane, Siddharth Verma and S S Mann, had a meeting with the Travel Agents Association of Nashik (TAAN) to discuss the service options for Nashikites.
