CALL FOR DIRECT FLIGHT
We would appreciate your valuable support in
making Goa more accessible to business
travelers, tourists and the global Goan diaspora


Mumbai, Muscat to Goa

Dear Sir/Madam

We, the non-resident Indians from the western Indian state of Goa working and residing in Oman and the travelers who have attached our names to this petition, would like to request airlines and the Government of India to introduce a direct flight from MUSCAT to GOA.
This will be a win-win proposition for the airlines and the passengers for the following reasons:
Currently, no airline offers a direct flight service from MUSCAT to GOA and all Goans living in Oman are either forced to take transit flights from Doha or Sharjah or continue with the age-old practice of taking a connecting flight to Goa from Mumbai.
A direct flight will not only make the journey home not so long and smooth, but it will also eliminate the often chaotic and unpleasant process of going thorough the same security checks again, carrying/loading/unloading of baggage etc at congested and busy connecting airports.
Also, Goa is one of the all-time favorite tourist destinations in Asia and Muscat is fast emerging as a tourism powerhouse in the Middle East. A direct flight will fuel the flow of tourists and businessmen between these two favorite holiday spots.
Respectfully
Ami Goenkar

>> Dear travelers, airlines officials in India often cite the reason of not having enough aircraft or demand for direct services to Goa and the Gulf but we have always found them operating additional aircrafts to Goa from everywhere during Xmas and New Year holidays. We have made repeated requests to politicians and transport officials in India and various airlines in this regard and we would appreciate your valuable support in putting forward this petition once again as a reminder to it.

  1. WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE!!!!!!
    The direct flight petition is a first step of Ami Goenkars towards re-asserting this long pending demand. Being part of the Petition will strengthen the cause of putting across the numbers to the authorities who cite `economics` as a hurdle. Get going folks, lets use the internet media to get the Goenkars together for a cause. Forward the information to all your Goenkar friends like you forward emails..... regards........Prasann Sheldenker
