Construction of buildings near Goa Airport sans NOC would pose threat to flights, base: Navy

Panaji, Oct 21 (UNI) The Navy on Monday said that construction of buildings in close proximity to Dabolim International Airport, without formal permission from it, would pose a threat to both INS Hansa, from where the airport operates, and aircrafts using the facility.
In a statement, the Navy said, ''A 2015 Gazette notification issued by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), stipulates that a ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) needs to be sought from the Operating Authority of a particular aerodrome prior any construction within 20 kilometers from the runway. Since Dabolim is a military/ civil dual use airfield, the Indian Navy is the aerodrome operating authority and the requirement of NOC is being pursued only in accordance with MoCA guidelines. The purpose of the NOC is to examine the merit of each case and ensure no construction jeopardizes flight safety in the interest of tourists, local population etc.''
It also maintained that apprehension raised by local politicians with regards to implementation of notification issued by Ministry of Civil Aviation which stipulated the need for NOC from aerodrome, in case of Goa Indian Navy whose naval base hosts the airport, was unfounded.
