<In order to encourage the airline operators to use Airports other than six busy airports i.e. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad the night parking charges between 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. have been reduced to 50 percent of the existing parking charges for all airline operators at AAI Airports from January 1, 2006. It is estimated that an expenditure of Rs. 5500 crores is to be incurred for the development of Terminal Buildings and Air Side Works at these Airports > ---- "These" airports presumably refers to airports "other than" the Big 6 i.e. including Dabolim civil enclave. Here the problem is glacial pace of release of land for parking bays. Unless the military steps on it, Goa is likely to fall far behind in the exponential growth of the Indian aviation sector. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | | | | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
