| June 10, 2010 | Goa Greenfield International Airport project gets clearance | | New Delhi: Union Cabinet on Thursday gave clearance for setting up of a new Greenfield International Airport at Mopa in
Goa. The cabinet also approved for the continuation of commercial operations
at Dabolim civil enclave. The new airport at Mopa will be constructed on a
Build-Own-Operate-Transfer
(BOOT) basis, for which, a private entity will be selected through a global tendering
process. The Cabinet also decided to grant status of International Airport to
the new airport. The Cabinet also approved the continuation of commercial operations
at the existing Dabolim Civil Enclave Airport by reviewing its earlier decision.
Earlier, the Cabinet has decided to close down the Dabolim Airport once the commercial
operations start from Mopa. Continuation of Dabolim Airport at Goa will facilitate
the state to meet the requirement of increased inflow of air traffic more efficiently
as well as for the balanced development of all parts of the state. | |
