Provorim: Though phase I of the Mopa International airport, which was slated to be commissioned by September 2020 has begun, Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar on Wednesday said that the project could be delayed due to the Supreme Court’s stay on tree cutting and the status quo ordered by the Apex Court on January 18.
In a written reply to the Goa Legislative Assembly, Parrikar said that construction of phase I of the airport had commenced and as per the concession agreement, the airport was supposed to be commissioned by September 2020 as per the concession agreement with GMR Airports.
“There is no proposal at present to have a railway terminal at the airport,” Parrikar also said in the written reply.
The project has a provision for two runways but initially, only one runway with a taxiway will be built while the second runway will be constructed based on the traffic flow at the airport.
