You dont have options here since only Air India and Jet Lite operate.

What is so special about this plane? Every jet is equipped to land on sea..remember the landing on Hudson river..?

Looks like an ATR standing on water...

Little correction in your statement

'Every jet is equipped to land on sea in emegency'. Like the Hudson river landing.And remember it's landing only ! They can't take off from sea .

A jet airliner landing on Hudson makes big news, for a seaplane that's routine......

By definition a sea plane is an aircraft specially designed to take off from and land on the water.

I hope that makes it clear...

So how much you think this small plane(if you can call it that) is going to cost? It looks more like a tube of toothpaste that has wings,and a couple of floaty bits underneath.
