Centre reviews Lakshadweep seaplane launch after support withdrawal
In short
The Centre is looking into the Lakshadweep seaplane launch after the union territory pulled its support. The operator had already put money into aircraft, staff and jetties across five islands, and it had done more than 40 trial and proving flights.
This matters because the service’s launch is now uncertain. The report does not say why support was withdrawn or whether the flights will go ahead.
