The Andhra Pradesh government is set to conduct a trial run of a 10-seater seaplane between Vijayawada and Srisailam on November 9th, 2024. The seaplane will land at Punnami Ghat in Vijayawada, with the AP Airports Development Corporation (APADC) preparing floating platforms, seating arrangements, and other amenities for the landing and takeoff. The government is planning a grand event to welcome the seaplane, with the Vijayawada Municipal Commissioner focusing on logistical arrangements including seating, entry protocols, and public viewing via live streaming at key locations across the city. This trial run aims to explore the feasibility of seaplane operations between the two temple towns, potentially offering a unique and efficient mode of transportation for pilgrims and tourists.
