<The answer to this may be to downsize it at the start say to regionalairport proportions and expand modularly as traffic builds up and demand isgenerated. The biggest advantage of this strategy is to compartmentaliseMopa and Dabolim operations to minimise overlap and address new markets. This would prevent the premature closure of Dabolim which should be thefundamental objective in this sorry business.>[Self]
An article which sheds some light on the above (and which incidentally has my comments at the end of it) has, coincidentally, re-surfaced today after nearly one month. I wonder what the Planning Commission would have to say about the Mopa project. As for the Kolkata expansion/modernisation I feel it may be a ploy by the civil aviation ministry to reward AAI for co-operating in the privatisation of Delhi/Mumbai airports. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinions/3064238.cms#top0
