The actual sequence should be:
1. Navy should curtail its training flights at Dabolim so that civilian
flights can expand.
Response: Agree
2. Navy should expedite clearance and construction of Seabird airfield
(6000
feet) and shift its flights to Seabird.
Response: Agree
3. Mopa should begin as a basic domestic airport and evolve over a
couple of
decades into a mega airport along with Dabolim.
Response: Disagree. If this happens, Dabolim will eventually be closed.
And the Goans will be coned again.
Why a tiny place like Goa needs a second airport? Are there any studies
made that Goa needs two airports in the next 25 or 50 years? If Dabolim
needs extra land for runways, it can be acquired. There is also an
option of constructing an extension of runways into the sea.
