Here is the full set of "missed implications" for ready reference:
1. As already mentioned, the new facility is likely to pose as much of a
threat to Dabolim's civil aviation, as Mopa -- IN THE LONG TERM (10-15
years). {OK, maybe a little less since the talk is of Mopa being a
super-duper mega airport. The flip side of this however is that it may never
take-off!)
2. The focal organisation involved seems very high on bureaucratic
stone-walling but in a worrisome sense does not seem to know what "war
footing" means. 10-12 years? That is Phase 4 or 5!
3. Why are they talking about applications for additional land, expansion of
the facility on paper in future etc? What about the here and now and the
immediate future? Is it just a helipad, an airstrip or a decent sized jet
runway?
4. When can helicopter, jet trainer and Sea Harrier training operations from
Dabolim (GOA!) be shifted to this place? And what about those of MIG-29Ks a
couple of years hence?
These vital issues seem to have been overshadowed by the pre-occupation with
new civilian airports on or close to state borders!
