The service is expected to give a big boost to the state's tourism as well as Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) – UDAN. The service will be inaugurated marking the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.Online bookings for the seaplane services began late on Friday night.

这项服务预计将大大促进该邦的旅游业以及区域连接计划(RCS)——UDAN。这项服务的启动恰逢帕特尔诞辰。水上飞机的在线预订从周五晚上开始。

“The service will officially start operations from Sunday, November 1. If there is a constraint in online bookings, people can purchase tickets from the ticket window at the waterdrome at Ahmedabad as well as Kevadia. Due to security reasons during the PM’s movement, the same may not however, be opened on Saturday,” said a well-placed source.

水上飞机服务将于11月1日(周日)正式开始运营。如果在线预订受到限制，人们可以在艾哈迈达巴德的waterdrome和Kevadia的售票窗口购票。不过，出于总理的安全考虑，周六可能不会开放。”

A slash in the seaplane fare was recently announced and now, travellers will be able to book the ticket for as low as Rs 1,500 per person. “The fare has been decided under RCS-UDAN rates and a certain quota of seats on each flight will be allotted at the lower price bracket. For the remaining, fares will be upto Rs 4,800 per person,” said the source.

最近，水上飞机的票价大幅下降，现在乘客可以以每人1500卢比的价格预订机票。“票价是根据RCS-UDAN 价格确定的，每个航班都会有一定数量的廉价票座位。其余的票价将高达每人4800卢比。”

Hope this type of system or facility is provided by all state govts where ever there is scope for landing/takeoff. This also reduces airport congestion and infrastructure requirements saving lot of foreign exchange.

希望各邦政府都能提供这种类型的设施，只要能降落或起飞的地方都可以使用这种飞机。这也能减少机场拥堵和基础设施需求，节省大量外汇。

at rs 4800/pax, i say the citizens of india should discourage & boycott the service & make it doomed. Unless any service is made affordable to the Indian citizen, i am of the opinion that the mass public should boycott it & then the businessmen will learn a lesson to be content with normal profits.

票价4800卢比，印度公民应该抵制，让这个项目失败。除非印度公民能负担得起，否则我认为大众应该抵制，让商人们得到教训，满足于正常的利润。

This Gujarati film star should understand,he is not PM for only Gujarat, think about rest of India too..

莫迪应该明白，他不仅仅是古吉拉特邦的总理，他也该为印度其他地区想想。

Why Sea plane services which were developed as early as in 1910 and used in World Wars not freely available in India for so many years is a point to ponder.

水上飞机早在1910年就有了，并在世界大战中使用，这么多年了，为什么印度还没普及，这是一个值得思考的问题。

How many Indians can afford such luxuries of traveling on seaplanes?

Price of onions are pinching the common man pocket

有多少印度人有钱享受这种奢侈的旅行?

洋葱都让普通人的口袋都瘪了

How may people can afford to pay Rs 4800 ? Instead operating normal boat ferries if feasible would have benefited a wider population, despite taking a little longer to reach.

人们怎么付得起4800卢比?

如果可行的话，运营正常的渡船将使更多人受益，尽管时间更长。
