The much-talked-about seaplane service that was halted since November 26 due to technical reasons is expected to resume operations from December 30.
In a statement shared with HT, SpiceJet on December 18 had announced that it would resume its seaplane operations between Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Riverfront and Kevadia’s Statue of Unity from December 27, with two daily flights on the route. However, in a subsequent statement, the airline postponed the date of resumption of services.
HT has learnt that the aircraft is yet to arrive at Ahmedabad from the Maldives, where it had to be flown for maintenance work. Top ministry sources said that the seaplane landed in Kochi around 11.30am on Monday and is expected to land in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
