Panaji: As the state government has expedited work on the international Mopa airport project, the financial consultant - KPMG - has been asked to work on a revenue model for the airport.
This is important as some stakeholders have raised queries of financial feasibility of the airport considering that the existing Dabolim airport will be allowed to continue operations.
An officer said that the financial consultant is working on the revenue model for the project.
KPMG is presently working on the RFQ (request for quotation) documents which are expected to be completed shortly. The RFQ documents will be published for selecting the prospective bidders, he added. Louis Berger is the technical consultant for the project.The Mopa airport will also have dedicated facilities for a cargo hub. In fact, to make the airport cargo handling financially viable, maintenance and repairs may form a part of the Mopa airport project, sources said.
