Kerala Introduces Seaplane Services To Boost Tourism And Connectivity

Kerala has marked an exciting step in its tourism sector by providing new transport connectivity. The state’s first-ever seaplane service was launched at the Bolgatty Waterdrome in Kochi Lake. The “De Havilland Canada” seaplane which came from Vijayawada, was met with a water cannon in a grand show. This marks the commencement of a very different journey.

The first trial run between the Bolgatty Palace and Mattupetty Dam was flagged off by State Tourism Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas with the hope of giving travellers a quicker and more exciting way to see the sights of Kerala.
