(Please read this document carefully before filling the registration form)

1. Introduction:

The Andaman and Nicobar Administration intends to introduce Seaplane/ Helicopter/ small passenger aircraft services for improving connectivity between the Islands. The idea is to effectively utilize the available aviation infrastructure, such as helipads, airstrips and the water bodies, which are feasible for such operations.
The Tourism industry in Andaman Islands has evolved over the years, owing to its varied natural attractions and the efforts made by the UT Administration and private sector in marketing these attractions and providing necessary infrastructure required by the sector. With a view to provide seamless air-connectivity to the Domestic and International Tourists visiting Andaman Islands, the UT Administration intends to introduce Seaplane /Helicopter/ small passenger aircraft services in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

2. Available Infrastructure:

There are a total of 19 helipads and 04 Air Strips available in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.  Besides, the sheltered water areas across A & N Islands are ideal for seaplane operations, some of these are already tested with successful   operation of Seaplane for a period of more than 3 years.
