Dabolim will stay: CM BY HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, NOV 22 The Cabinet made it clear that Dabolim airport will not be closed in the near future and that commercial operations will continue even after Mopa international airport is commissioned. Announcing this, Chief Minister Pratapsing Rane said, there is no harm in having two (international) airports. He said night landings have been allowed and added that Navy is co-operative. Apparently, the Cabinet discussed the issue after the South Goa MP Churchill Alemao two days ago, disclosed that the Union civil aviation ministry has plans to shut down operations at Dabolim once Mopa is commissioned.
