Thiruvananthapuram: The onset of the heavy rains across the state has cast a shadow over the inaugural flight of the much-hyped Seaplane service.
If the rain continues posing visibility issues, it would affect the landing of the seaplane at the water dromes. “We will review the situation vis-a-vis the launch day and if the visibility is below the desired limits, the timing of the service would have to be changed accordingly,” said Col (retired)K.S. Sasikumar who runs the Kairali Aviation which is gearing up to operate the first seaplane service in the state.
The launch of the Seaplane service is now tentatively fixed for May 31. Though about five other operators have also expressed their interest to operate seaplane service in Kerala, they are waiting for the end of monsoon season.
