I expect that 19 seats means no toilet!On Monday 12 April Grecian Air Seaplanes said it will launch seaplane flights in September, connecting islands to the mainland after the first seaports were licenced to operate after years of bureaucratic delays. The company said it plans to start flights with three 19-seater seaplanes from seaports at the Ionian Sea in western Greece and gradually grow its fleet of aircraft. With its Polynesian geography and a 16,000-kilometre coastline, Greece is an ideal place for seaplane service. Operators can improve access to many holiday resorts and poorly connected islands, a potential boost to its tourism industry.
Grecian Air Seaplanes said its flights will fill a void, helping to connect islands to one another and to the mainland by air. Its business plan calls for a mixed fleet of owned and leased aircraft as the cost of a seaplane is about $7 million. The company said it plans to grow the business as more seaports get licenced in the Cyclades, in Crete, the Sporades and Dodecanese islands and others in the northern Aegean Sea.

Re: Grecian Air to launch seaplane service connecting islands
As you say, one wonders whether it will serve the Ex-A's little dominion in the Cyclades? We await their approval of the scheme here and their opinion on suitable safe harbours, published approaches, departures etc. etc.ian16th wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 10:54 amOf interest to the Ex A's and RiS?

A full Twotter (esp. on floats) would only be good for an hour and a half, or so, with reserve.
Just hold it.
