[Goanet]Learning Curve, Defence Drag Dabolim
The focus should be that Dabolim revert its status to a civilian airport with an option for the Coast Guard / Navy / Air ambulance( if any) to use it when required and in emergencies. Not the other way round.[Gabriel de Figueiredo, March 24] Thank YOU, Gabriel, for clearly setting out the ultimate goal for Dabolim. As there will be the inevitable twists and turns along the way, it is necessary to have this long term goal clearly in mind. In addition, it may be necessary to continue the campaign to brainwash goanetters about the potential of civil aviation for Goa. This has to be done in the comprehensive context of Indian and international aviation. This may be the only way to prevent Dabolim from falling completely into military clutches.

The Navy has no intention of shifting training out and it should never be allowed to take over Dabolim exclusively. We nay need to find another forum where the impasse due to the drag of defence on Indian civil aviation can be addressed meaningfully in the context of the upsurge in air traffic and tourism. Perfectly put, Philip. Thank you. The focus should be that Dabolim revert its status to a civilian airport with an option for the Coast Guard / Navy / Air ambulance( if any) to use it when required and in emergencies.
