Water Aerodromes: Routes to and fro from water aerodromes were introduced in India under UDAN 3.0 onwards to usher in a new era of air travel! According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, a network of water aerodromes along with land-based airports will improve air connectivity in the country and will be particularly useful for localized short-distance travelling. A few days ago, the maiden seaplane service between the world’s tallest statue- the Statue of Unity and Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Now, the government is eyeing to set up 14 more water aerodromes in the country.
