Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has directed the tourism department and Chilika Development Authority (CDA) to cooperate with SpiceJet Limited and Airport Authority of India (AAI) and explore the possibility of introducing sea plane services in state, an official said.
The instructions, issued by Chief Secretary A P Padhi, comes days after the low-cost carrier and AAI showed interest in rolling out water aerodromes in the state to connect three major tourist destinations with Bhubaneswar, he said.
In a letter to Mr Padhi, earlier this month, SpiceJet said it was trying to assess the possibilities of starting sea plane operations in parts of the country, with a focus on Odisha.
"We are already charting out a Detailed Project Report to assess the feasibilities, infrastructure development, capacity building and policy level implementation to explore the potential of introducing sea plane operation in India, with special focus on the state of Odisha," it said.
