Navy says reduce civilian flights, Airports Authority of India rules it out Concerned over air incidents

The Indian Navy has written to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and airlines to see if the number of civilian flights can be reduced at Goa International airport, Dabolim.

The move comes following a few air incidents that occurred at Goa airport, which is a naval airbase.

A meeting was held between airlines, AAI senior management and the Navy in Delhi to deliberate and explore the possibility of a reduction in flights, especially during the peak time. No decision has been taken and AAI officials have ruled out the possibility of a reduction in flights. Ironically, in November, AAI had requested the Navy to permit more time for civilian flights. A meeting was held on December 27 in Delhi to deliberate over both the issues.
