K'taka to set up greenfield airports in tier II cities JAISHANKAR JAYARAMIAH <Karnataka also plans to open the existing defence airports at Karwar and Bidar for civilian operations. The government is understood to have written to the civil aviation minister for building of terminals at these two airports. > Goa is being told by the Navy that an airfield 'might' come up in the second phase. Meanwhile, the Karnataka govt seems to be under the impression that there is not just an airbase but an "airport" at Karwar/Seabird. Maybe a figment of someone's (media's? imagination. Or is Goa being kept in the dark? Who knows. Cheers.
