Seaplane Services in Kochi, Kerala. Now you can fly out of water!

God's own country would now also offer its tourists and country men, a sea plane facility, so that you can take right off from water!
 
The Sea Plane services are being launched in Kochi, Kerala. The state government has decided to introduce this facility in September this year as part of the Emerging Kerala Global Connect program. The government has taken measures to identify the area needed for this project. Once introduced, the service is expected to boost the water tourism of the state.

Emerging Kerala 2012 is scheduled to be held later this year in Le Meridien Kochi from September 12 to 14, 2012. Kerala, expects to close down investments by business magnets in projects such as Kochi Metro, Mono Rail, NIMZ project, High Speed Rail corridor and others through this conference.

The water transport terminal and office complex of Goshree Islands Development Authority (GIDA) is coming up at the authority's land on Goshree- Chatiath road. The GIDA has proposed to utilise the inland water resource available and would introduce modern and fast boats that provide residents a cheap, fast and safe mode of transport.

The tender proceedings of the Rs 6.33 crore project was completed by KITCO and according to GIDA officials Aluva FIT would initiate the project. The project is slated to get completed within one year, by August 2013.
