Navy requires 6 hrs runway for maintenance at Dabolim

The Navy on Wednesday clarified on the requirement of 6 hours of runway maintenance slot at Dabolim. The maintenance will take place between 6.30 in the morning to 12.30 in the afternoon on every Saturday for runway maintenance.

The navy has stressed that  non availability of six hours maintenance slot will lead to faster deterioration of the runway which had been resurfaced just four years ago. The excessively heavy monsoons this season have adversely affected the runway surface.
