Goa’s 2nd international airport in Mopa expected to be ready in three years
Aviation consultancy firm CAPA has said it expects the second international airport in Goa to be ready for operations in next three years.
The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the decks for construction of an international airport by the GMR Group at Mopa in North Goa by lifting suspension on environmental clearance (EC) granted for the project.
Immediately after SC’s order, the GMR Group said it plans to start work soon for the new aerodrome.
The top court had early last year suspended the EC granted for the greenfield airport and had directed the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) to revisit the decision in light of its impact on the ecology there.
