Mumbai: The proposed maiden sea plane services by Mehair from Mumbai hit yet another air pocket after the operator failed to secure necessary regulatory approvals from the state government.
Maritime Energy Heli Air Services or Mehair put off its maiden service from the mainland, which was scheduled to commence from March 10 from the Juhu airport to Aamby Valley City, in the wake of Sahara Chief Subrata Roy's arrest orders by the Supreme Court, sources said today.
Now, the company has deferred its proposed seaplane services to Mula Dam in Shirdi and Pawna dam in Pune, which were to commence from tomorrow, too for want of approvals from the state Irrigation department, they told PTI.
Mehair has, however, already secured aviation regulator DGCA's nod for these services, they said adding, "the irrigation department is ready to accord permission for the Dhoom dam in Panchgani in Mahabaleshwar, which is yet to (receive) aviation regulator's approval".
