Highly-anticipated seaplane flights are scheduled to kick off from Corfu in the spring, announced the project’s key investor Hellenic Seaplanes this week.
According to the company, seaplanes will carry out flights for transport, charters and sightseeing tours. Flights from Corfu will initially make stops at Paxi, Antipaxi and the Diapontian Islands, an island cluster in the Ionian Sea.
Hellenic Seaplanes said the spring launch is part of wider efforts to kickstart the entire waterway network in the summer of 2024.
To mark the occasion, island officials inspected the seaplane port and terminal on Corfu this week. Company executives also met with Corfu port authorities and with Greek Water Airports Founder and Managing Director Anastasios Govas, with whom they discussed the possibility of offering site-seeing tours to cruise passengers as part of shore excursion programs. Govas is also the representative of “North Ionian Waterways Ltd”, the operating body of Corfu and Paxi waterways.
The goal, the company said, is to offer daily flights on Cessna Caravan 208C planes for 12 passengers to and from the neighboring Ionian islands.
