Kerala Seaplane

In a major boost to Kerala's tourism sector, the 'De Havilland Canada' seaplane landed at the Bolgatty waterdrome on the city side of Kochi Lake on Sunday evening.

A 19-seater seaplane flying from Male, The Maldives, makes successful landing inside Kerala's Venduruthy channel, a video showed.

The much-fancied last-mile connectivity in Kerala has come under flak with noted environmentalists opposing the amphibian seaplane service launched amid fanfare in the state's backwaters to attract more domestic and overseas tourists.

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Sunday launched the country's first seaplane service from the backwaters in Kollam.

Kerala Tourism on Thursday received a shot in the arm as the first seaplane which will connect the state's most popular backwater destinations arrived at the Kochi airport to a ceremonial welcome, an official said.

The first success of the recently-concluded 'Emerging Kerala' investors' meet could be the seaplane project to be operationalised in seven tourist destinations in the state in January, says Tourism Minister AP Anilkumar.

Kerala government has decided in principle to implement the seaplane project aimed at boosting tourism in the state.
