Pune-Nashik seaplane service to begin from June 15

In what will bring down the journey time between Pune and Nashik to 50 minutes, the private-run seaplane service connecting the two destinations will begin from June 15.

City-based private operator Maritime Energy Heli Air Services Pvt Ltd (MEHAIR) today said it will launch its regional air connectivity between the two places on Monday.

"There is a strong need for such a service between Pune and Nashik given the long and difficult road journey between these two places," MEHAIR's co-founder and director Siddharth Verma said in a statement.

Flights between these two centres--Lohagaon in Pune and HAL Airport in Nashik-are likely to reduce the travel time of people from up to seven hours down to barely 50 minutes, he said.

The services will be operated with a Cessna 208A amphibian aircraft, which is capable of both runway and water operations in the course of the same flight, he said.
