In India, there are hardly any night-time domestic flights -- except a very few connecting the big metros. This probably means the navy is willing to accomodate the tourism lobby, ruin the sleep hours of the state, but not stop their ludicrous peak-morning naval flights which disrupts the continuous working of the airport and bottlenecks all the flights to a narrow afternoon slot.
The navy and the Airport Authorites of India have been blaming each other for inefficiencies of the airport (mostly the AAI getting blamed). But for the traveller entering Dabolim, life remains trying. Haven't we seen this airport repeately getting crores of rupees for renovation which hardly reflects in the quality of work there? Also, isn't this one of the few airports in the world which doesn't have a public bus service connected to it?
