==नागरी स्थिती परत आणण्यास प्रचार==
There has been a demand in local political circles for the restoration of Dabolim's civilian status by relocating the Indian Navy' air station to an airfield in the new [[INS Kadamba]] naval base at [[Karwar]], 70 kilometres (43 miles) south of Dabolim in the adjoining state of [[कर्नाटक|Karnataka]]. However, the Indian Navy's top officers in Goa have hinted that the investment at Dabolim naval air station is 750 Crores and that it would be impossible to replicate this at Karwar.<ref name="Goa_Plus_Article">D'Cunha C. "Room for more flights at Dabolim: Adm.Mehta". ''Goa Plus'' (''[[The Times of India]]'' supplement). 5 January 2007</ref>
In early 2007, there were reports of a concerted move by the Navy, the AAI, and the state of Karnataka to extend the runway planned at the naval base at Karwar to 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) to accommodate [[Airbus A320]]s and to acquire 75 extra hectares for this purpose.<ref>[http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=23471 Government Exploring Possibilities opening of Karwar Airport for Civilian Air Services] Press Information Bureau Government of India</ref> However there have been no corresponding plans announced so far to relocate flight training from Dabolim to this airport or any other more convenient place. Meanwhile plans for the naval air station at Karwar have been put on the back-burner.
