Maharashtra Proposes Ratnagiri-Mumbai Seaplane Service

The Maharashtra Maritime Board is planning to start a seaplane service between Ratnagiri and Mumbai.

This is to make travel faster and bring more tourists to the Konkan region.

They are checking if Bhagwati and Bhatye beaches in Ratnagiri are good places for the seaplanes to land and take off.

Experts will study things like sea currents and wind speed to make sure it's safe.

They will also look at the costs to make sure the service is affordable for passengers and sustainable for the operators.

If everything goes well, this service could make travel between Mumbai and Ratnagiri much quicker and help the local economy.
