The upcoming airport in Goa’s Mopa plateau, which is just a short distance from the state’s border with Maharashtra, received a recommendation by Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narvekar, who said that once commissioned the airport would be beneficial to Goa as well as Maharashtra.
“Mopa airport will be beneficial to the people of Goa as well as to Maharashtra, as it is on the border of both the states. It will be a gateway to tourism for Maharashtra from Vengurla to North Konkan. There are many tourist spots here. This airport will help grow these spots,” Narvekar, who was in Goa on a short visit, said.
