Centre okays second weekly flight from Dubai to Goa NT Staff Reporter Panaji Dec 20: The Union civil aviation ministry has okayed a second direct flight in a week from Dubai to Goa and it will become operational within a week. This was announced today at a press conference by the state president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Dr Wilfred de Souza who returned from New Delhi after meeting several Union ministers including the Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Mr Praful Patel. Dr de Souza, who went to Delhi to attend the meeting of working committee of the NCP, requested Mr Praful Patel to increase the direct flights from Dubai to Goa from one per week to two flights per week as demanded by Goans in Dubai, and Mr Patel has agreed. Dr de Souza also requested him to look at the problem of Goan expatriates who come by chartered flights to Goa. Though they wish to extend their stay here, they are bound by rules to leave the country within four weeks. Mr Patel has promised to study the problem, Dr de Souza said. +++++ www.goa-world.com comments: Ref. to the above statement 'Dr. de Souza, requested Mr Praful Patel to increase the direct flights from Dubai to Goa from one per week to two flights per week as demanded by Goans in Dubai, and Mr Patel has agreed. +++++++ Dr. Wilfred de Souza, if this was the case of you just meeting Mr. Praful Patel, the Goans in Dubai would have flown you twice a week to Delhi regularly 52 weeks annually and evaded a lot of hassles and tussles to get the flight in place.
