INTERNATIONAL CHARTERED FLIGHTS MUST BE ALLOWED TO LAND IN GOA: CM SAWANT

Goa CM Pramod Sawant has said that he would write to the Centre urging it to allow the landing of inbound international chartered flights at Goa International Airport, Dabolim, as the coastal state is mulling to open an international tourism sector.

He said, “It (allowing international charter flights) is in the purview of the government of India. Until the government of India permits, we cannot start charter flights. We have requested the MHA and the Union tourism ministry about this. We are also writing to them this time.”

The Chief Minister said the time had come to think positively about re-opening the tourism sector in the state.

“We want to think about it positively by following proper SOPs and precautions. Till now we have not finalised,” he said.
