Mopa airport could create many jobs in Goa: Suresh Prabhu

Panaji: India is going to be the largest aviation market in the near future with its current pace of growth and this would create job opportunities, Union Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu said today.

He was in Goa to review the progress of the work on the greenfield international airport in Mopa in north Goa being constructed by GMR Goa International Airport Limited, a special purpose vehicle formed by GMR Airports Limited.

The first phase of the airport is expected to be completed by 2020, officials said.

"The Indian aviation sector is growing exponentially. Last month, we grew at 20 per cent. If the same trend continues, we will be the largest aviation market in the world and this would create the kind of job opportunities one cannot imagine," Prabhu told reporters.

Talking about the greenfield international airport at Mopa, Prabhu said that by 2025, around 30 million tourists would be coming to Goa because of this airport.
