Tianjin Dongjiang Bonded Port Area is
planning to build the first seaplane base in Bohai Bay region and the
seaplane scenic tours are expected to open in the beginning of 2014.
China air traffic authorities have
said that the decades-old ban on use of the low-altitude airspace across
the country will be relaxed starting 2013.
"A feasibility study is being carried
out. And the construction of the seaplane base will be started in the
second half of this year. The seaplane tours will be available in the
beginning of 2014,” said an executive of the China Aero Supply.
The visitors will fly in 19-seat DHC-6 Twin Otter.
In the first phase, Dongjiang
Bay-Tianjin Port and Dongjiang Bay-Binhai Aircraft Carrier Theme Park
routes will be provided; routes to allow visitors to get panoramic view
of 16 port cities in Bohai Bay will be launched in the second phase.
