Hey all,
Randomly searching the net (instead of studying....) and came across this article Seaplanes to fly once more - Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1549320/Seaplanes-to-fly-once-more.html) from 2007.
Anyone know if AirSea Lines plans to come to UK are or are likely to ever happen? Last I checked their website was down for maintenance. Would be fantastic if they did come to London!
The company mainly uses the DeHavilland Twin Otter, a rugged and reliable aircraft developed for exploring northern Canada, which can carry 19 passengers and land on runways as well as on water. Production of the Twin Otter stopped in 1988, but restarted this month to meet the expected increase in demand over the next decade. AirSea Lines is expected to be the main customer. The company currently has nine aircraft in Europe but wants to increase this to 50 - including at least 10 in the UK - by 2012.
