Panaji: Chief minister Manohar Parrikar on Wednesday reiterated that the government will not give any more land for the expansion of Dabolim airport till the Airports Authority of India (AAI), Goa, submits a detailed action plan on land use.
Parrikar said the state government has given around 1 lakh sq m of land-40,000 sq m for the new terminal and 50,000 sq m at a prime location-but till date it was not utilized.

He said outside the existing terminal building there is space available for parking of around 350 vehicles and that around 100 vehicles could be parked on either side of the proposed national highway.
"If they (AAI) are not able to plan the parking space, then they should come to me I will plan for them," Parrikar said.
The chief minister said that space for around 500 parking slots is available on the left of the airport, which makes available a total of 1,000 parking slots at the airport.
