Seaplane Base

Deutsch: Wasserflugplatz / Español: Base de hidroaviones / Português: Base de hidroaviões / Français: Base d'hydravions / Italiano: Idroscalo

A Seaplane Base is a specialized aviation facility designed to accommodate aircraft that can take off and land on water. These bases play a crucial role in regions where conventional runways are impractical or unavailable, such as remote islands, coastal areas, or inland lakes. By leveraging water surfaces as natural runways, seaplane bases enable flexible and efficient transportation, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure.
