If everything goes as planned, soon you could take a 'flying boat' though Yamuna from Delhi, the next time you visit Agra. Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari said the government will soon introduce seaplane service between the two cities. Terming it a move that will rewrite the country's maritime history, Gadkari said, The 'fly boat' project will start in the next three months. We have also been in discussions with the Airport Authority of India (AAI) in order to frame rules and regulations needed to introduce seaplanes on this route."

He also said that the Centre plans to operate hovercraft and seabuses in not just Yamuna but across all waterways in the country.

A seaplane is an aircraft that has skis instead of wheels, and can take off from and land on water.
