We have the flying boat. That planes over sea
Why not land ektranoplans that use electricity from electric lines as trains does.

More speed, less road or rail lines infrastructure.

wow, those are some pretty shitty specs
meanwhile this little fella is much simpler and can carry 34 passengers at 35 knots for 75l of diesel fuel

Not to mention they got experience from it.

Beriev Be-200 is currently the world's only jet-powered amphibious aircraft. California at one point want to buy them

The problem with airplanes is that they spend an ungodly amount of energy getting to cruising altitude, great for when your flight is mostly cruising, shit when you get short flights between small indonesian islands. Ekranoplan is not as fast nor as efficient at cruising, but it's much easier to get off the ground, so it has its place for short range flights over water.
