Under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS)  -  UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik), operations  are permitted through fixed wing aircraft (including seaplanes).

The government  is not in a position  to envisage  the timeline by which amphibious  planes would become  functional, as the operation of amphibian planes  would be decided by the operating  company based on commercial considerations.
