Nasci, Dabolim has all the requisites of being a great airport. However with Navy showing no sign of giving up and you doing nothing to send it off to seabird, since you have scaled down your earlier expectations of evacuating the Navy and now believe in co-existence of Navy and civil aviation, Dabolim will only be a well conjured dream.
Avelino ______ Nasci Caldeira Goa does not need another airport at Mopa! All it needs is a 'Bigger Airport at Dabolim" and this is feasible at less cost and can be done in much less time too! The author has spoken about big Cities having airports at one end of town. True! But Goa is not a big city, nor will it be so in the near future. Goa already has a great location at Dabolim and in the 'centre of town'. So even when Goa does claim big City status; it will have a world class airport in the heart of town. So why do you want to drag 'Our Airport" in the Centre of Town to the northern end of town and create more and more transport and logistics prblems?? Please threfore support Dabolim Airport only! Dabolim forever! Mopa never!
