New Product Intorduction (Pawan Hans launches land hopping services in Andamans)

It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a seaplane. Making aviation history in India, state-owned Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd (PHHL) inducted the country's first commercial seaplane — a ‘Marylyn' nine-seater Cessna aircraft — on Monday.
Soon it promises to connect most of the Andaman and Nicobar islands through these seaplanes.
At present, anyone wanting to travel between these islands has to use boats.

The Cessna seaplane can ferry passengers and their baggage to distances within 250 km in about an hour and can land on most calm waters.
Eventually, PHHL plans to extend the service to Lakshadweep and Goa.
The launch of the seaplane service promises to open up new vistas for tourists wanting to visit far flung islands that cannot have an airport.
