RESPONSE: I second the motion for Goa to have it's own Airline - think though, that Kadamba Airways will not take off !, it will grind to a halt. How about Goan Air? (pronounced go on Air) Also Goa should now seriously be thinking of Air Ambulances, as the roads are pretty clogged up and chances of getting an injured peson to Goa Medical College sometimes means, Dead On Arrival (D.O.A.). This of course will take sometime but if Goa starts now we should be there in the next decade. We do have Air Ambulances here in the U.K. and Abrahamovich Of Chelsea Football Club among several others have their own private jets which ferry them from Heathrow to Gatwick and London City Airport. There is also a helicopter terminal in Battersea for those wanting to visit nearby Wimbledon for tennis! Cheers, Gabe Menezes. London, England.
