PM Narendra Modi inaugurates sea-plane service between Kevadia, Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated a water aerodrome at Kevadia and the sea-plane Service connecting Statue of Unity in Kevadia with the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad.
He also inaugurated a water aerodrome in Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad. These are part of a series of such facilities being planned to bring last mile connectivity.
Seaplanes have the ability to land and take-off from water thus offering plane access to areas that do not have landing strips or runways.
It can help in connecting regions that have challenges owing to its topography and bring the remotest parts of India into the mainstream aviation network without the high cost of building airports and runways.
