Margao – Lack of Facilities & Incentives are compelling Airlines to shift operations from Dabolim to Mopa & BJP Government remains silent. Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant must immediately facilitate a Meeting of all Stakeholders to ensure sustained Operation & Growth of Dabolim Airport, stated Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao.

Reacting to the announcement made by Spicejet Airlines to shift operations from Dabolim to Mopa, Leader of Opposition has warned that Dabolim will soon be Ghost Airport if BJP Government continues to remain Silent Spectator.

BJP Government after coming to power in 2014 have tried to finish all Public Sector Undertakings by promoting Crony Capitalists to venture into Key Business Models. Government is deliberately keeping silent to favour GMR at Mopa Airport, charged Yuri Alemao.

Government must immediately intervene and make alignment of User Development Charges(UDC) of Dabolim and Mopa Airports. Facilities at Dabolim like Better Upkeep, Aesthetics, Enhanced Transport Facilities, Faster Clearances etc needs to be improved immediately, demanded Yuri Alemao.

South Goa will suffer very badly if Dabolim Airport get closed down. Operations at Dabolim need to continue to ensure economic well-being of the region, said Yuri Alemao.

I had raised apprehensions that Dabolim may get converted into Coal Terminal after Qatar Airways announced its shift to Mopa. Surprisingly, Government has maintained Silence. This shows that there is some hidden agenda, stated Yuri Alemao.
