However, much to our dislike we need to replace it with a new one sooner then later. Moreover, the old shoe is in the custody of men-in-white; I am told that they don't throw away anything from their inventory. I am not particularly worried if Mopa takes ten years or more; a modern airport with state-of-the-art technology is surely worth the wait. Moreover, we will not be subjected to begging for extra landing slots time and again. A modern airport which blends beautifully with Goa's image and help's Goa to prosper is all I am looking forward to. Avelino Nasci Caldeira wrote: Avelino, You should agree with me; Building Mopa will have a more devastating effect on 'TOURISM" then giving the Navy more time, to relocate, and upgrade Dabolim at the same time. Believe me. Mopa will take at least ten yeras to complete, if at all; Within just two years, the Nave can be asked to relocte by the civilian authority and these two years can be simultaneously utilised to re build Dabolim. Thats all for now from me. Read Valmiki Faleiro laatest presentation. Bye. Cheers!

I agree that the Navy have to move to make way for a modern airport. However, waiting indefinitely will have drastic consequences on the tourism industry. Secondly, Goa will fail to capitalize, as a top tourist destination, on low cost air travel which is just round the corner. And finally, an airport in Sindhudurg will surely be a fatal blow to Goa's tourism industry. Konkan coast with its virgin, uninhabited and clean beaches will compete directly with Goa; it's pretty obvious where the tourists will head to. Are we waiting to cry over spilled milk?

The Navy nust be reminded that they are to act only under Civilian Govt guidelines and orders. India is not a military dictatorship. The Govts. at the Centre and in Goa. must tell the Navy so, in plain and unmistakable terms. Giving adequate funds to the Navy to relocate , and stern instructions from the Centre should do the trick. The 'Sea Bird' has been under construction and at great cost for so many years now; and that is where the Navy Air Wing belongs. We should not mind the rest of the Navy continuing in Vasco / Chicalim. Its only the Dabolim area that they "HAVE TO VACATE" and NOW! They have a lot of choice when deciding to do that. ANYWHERE BUT DABOLIM for the Navy, should be our refrain. Incidentally, even with the present arrangement of time sharing, all the present day traffic can be accommodated. Its is the future rising demand that calls for the Navy to vacate Dabolim which they are illegally occupying, any way. And the Navy is earning huge profits by doing so. They should plough back all of this profit to the civilian authority. Dabolim can then be constructed to an 'State Of The Art' International (and domestic) Airport, with much less money then is being thought of, for Mopa which does not benefit all of Goa. Above all, this upgrading in terminal and other facilities can be done in as many months as it would take years to do Mopa. I hope the above aanswers your concerns and that of all the Mopa supporters; who are mainly political; Technically, logistically and geographically, Dabolim is the best venue for any airport in Goa. Ramakant Khalap in his recent statements is showing that his support for Mopa is purely political fishing; no reasons technical or logistic given. Some persons are born with 'Thick Brains'; You see.
