A 9-seater sea-plane of Maritime Energy Heli Air Services (MEHAIR) landed successfully in Gangapur dam near Nashik, thirty-five minutes after taking off from Juhu in Mumbai.
The scheduled test flight of the commercial seaplane service from Juhu aerodrome in Mumbai to the Gangapur dam in Nashik, was postponed after the Collector Vilas Patil denied NOC to the operators.
Once the services are launched, the travel time between the two destinations will be reduced to less than 10 minutes from 30 minutes now.
Mumbai-based private operator Maritime Energy Heli Air Services Pvt Ltd (Mehair), in association with MTDC, on Monday launched maiden seaplane service to Lonavala from here, marking its first operation from the mainland.
