On 7 November 2006 an AirSea Lines Twin Otter seaplane landed at Royal Victoria Docks on the River Thames, London, at the end of a proving flight testing the feasibility of seaplane operations from the river. The company stated it was studying the possibility of domestic passenger flights from lakes, rivers and harbours across the United Kingdom, and envisaged up to 50 AirSea Lines seaplanes operating in the UK in time for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London [1][2].
In 2007 AirSea Lines will be expanding its operations into the Aegean area from Lavrio port, Athens. Services to Ios, Kalymnos, Patmos, Syros, Andros, Tinos and Amorgos are due to start in early 2007. [1].
