 Belgaum is home to the MLIRC and the Air force, third part of the Indian Army the Navy is now getting itself geared up to build a Naval Airbase and stock depot at Belgaum.

 The Navy from its Goa head quarters has sent a letter to the district administration on June 17 asking for acquiring of 420 acres of land near the Sambra airport. The project will commence once they get a clearance from the central government.

The naval air base in Goa has weather problems which cause delay in landing and takeoff and as Belgaum is near and already has an established air base with airmen and also a regimental centre, Belgaum was the best choice. 

In the letter to the Belgaum district administration the Navy has asked the authorities to prepare the complete estimate of cost of land and any other costs and submit the same. 

MIG-29 planes cannot land on the Goa naval base hence Belgaum strip will be used, PRO Navy said.
Once the clearances got the project will be undertaken.

I had mailed the Kingfisher airlines asking an explanation as to why the flights have been cancelled from Belgaum.

“Dear Uday,

We look forward to being of assistance to you.

 Operational reason will be lack of traffic on the route and nothing else I guess. The aviation industry on a whole is in turbulence and hence the best way to survive is cut costs and to cut costs stop all the routes where there is not profit.
