Aviation is confined by the lack of convenient airfields and its general inability to serve the maritime sector. The majority of final destinations, including city-centres for business and resorts for holidays, have one common factor, in navigable and open water.
The ‘Ocean’ portfolio of seaplanes and amphibians offer operators new freedoms throughout the maritime sector, including the ability to link inland bases with coastal and island destinations.
They will do more for the environment than any equivalent aircraft, having step-change greater cruise efficiency, enabling direct-to-destination operations to reduce both net mileage and use of secondary transports, and by leaving the natural environment untouched in not needing airfields.
