Can we please just generally tidy up this article. Some of the language used is simply not want you expect to find in an encyclopedia. For example, can we choose another subtitle for the section named "tying things down". This is Wikipedia!! More professionalism needed please!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.44.16 ( talk) 18:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
For quite some time now, clicking on the item "Airports Authority of India: Goa Airport" in "External Links" results in HTTP 404 error, "file not found". This link should either be removed or replaced.
The article states that the ICAO Code of Goa is "VAGO". However, the Mumbai/Chennai FIR lines (VABF/VOMF) were realigned a few months ago and Goa now falls in the Chennai FIR. It is therefore redesignated as "VOGO". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.178.195.132 ( talk) 09:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
In the "External Links" on the Kochi (CIAL) airport page there is a link to A-ZWorld Airports which opens to a googlearth picture of the airport. This site also has a link to Dabolim airport. Is it possible for some kind soul to provide a A-ZWorld Airport link to Dabolim airport's googlearth picture as an extrernal link in the article on Dabolim? Thanks.
Cool! I found wikimapia worked perfectly. Thanks.
Updated article a short while ago but the history does not show it though the article does! Wha hoppen?
While trying to edit the infobox I discovered that the contents of the infobox in the article do not match some of those in the edit page. History reflects the (two) changes but the article infobox does not. Why?
Actually its both coz Vasco is the Navy base and Goa is the civilian destination. Tried to change to "Vasco da Gama/Goa" to reflect this duality but it got reverted! Btw, its fairly common in India to have (smallish) airports smack dab in the middle of big cities.
It is interesting to find that Dabolim has been included as a wikiproject on airports. The information provided on such projects is truly exhaustive. I have noted that the Dabolim article "needs major consolidation". My personal goal is to see it evolve into a featured article. Any model airport articles which can be suggested for this purpose? Thanks.
The link in "Surface Transport" to "Vasco da Gama" should be to the city in Goa and not to the person after whom it is named. Hopefully, any "Goa" bit can be suitably hidden. Thanks.
I have made very extensive edits to this article because it was full of uncertainties, speculation, guesses and personal opinion by the writers. We need just the facts and a little bit of speculation. I have had to make dozens of edits about the Navy role and much else. This artticle does not suit Featured Article status (and I think never will) unless an experienced writer sorts out the facts, drastically reduces the speculation and starts again. Sorry to be so honest! - Adrian Pingstone 08:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I just came here looking for information on GOI and I have to say I fully agree with Adrian — this article reads like an essay, not an encyclopedia article. I've given it a few whacks of the sledgehammer, but many more are needed. Jpatokal 13:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I visited the page for SAN and was interested to find an international comparison right upfront. What's ok for SAN should be ok for GOI. Hence I have reverted, partially, the edit of Jpatokal.
The newspaper account in the WP article on K.P.Candeth does say "Lt.Gen". But he may have been promoted after the Goa invasion and Lt.Governorship. Pls see the following link: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/History/1960s/Goa01.html I leave it to you to decide what the correct rank is for the GOI article. 61.1.69.155 05:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)PST
First off military should take precedence over public as per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports/Infobox/Archive 3#Airport types.
The first thing that caught my attention was "Such combinations are usually problematic. So far, Dabolim airport is no exception." Then I noticed that there are a lot of interesting facts that look good and should have references such as "A peculiarity of the airport lies in the concentration of 80% of civilian traffic in the period between 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm during weekdays, with the balance in the early morning hours. This is because of naval restrictions for military flight training purposes." Something like that does not look made up so it should be easy to find a reference.
There are some references given at the bottom of the page but they need to be linked into the article. Other things like this may be good but why is this person believable? He may be a good authority on the airport but I can't tell that.
61.1.XX.XXX you have done a lot of great work and that should be acknowledged. I'm not trying to attack it or say there is anything wrong with just that it's time to put in some references. And remember, references don't always have to be web based. I have provided article references from several books that have no equivalent on the net.
By the way in reference to your remark "...tag should not be a license to hit the delete button indiscriminately!". When I added the unsourced tag it was not an indication that I was going to start removing stuff without giving you a chance to supply the references.

The end of Portuguese colonial rule in 1961 following a military action by the Indian Army is being referred to as an "invasion". This is not NPOV. It reflects the debate promoted by a handful who believe or suggest that Portuguese rule was the natural state of affairs in South Asia. In the interest of fairness, it might be acceptable to say that even the term "Liberation" (the official description in post-1961 Goa) is not NPOV. Such events should be just described as what they were -- the end of Portuguese rule, 1961, the end of Portuguese rule following a military action by the Indian Army... whatever. There are surely more neutral terms. -- fredericknoronha 01:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Strangly, some of the discussions on this page, and many of the edits on the Dabolim airport page seem unsigned. While signing the edits is not mandatory, it would help to enhance the credibility of the page (perhaps) by knowing who created the same. -- fredericknoronha 01:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
I just spent a couple hours cleaning up this article. I removed and changed a lot of information because much of what was included in this article was either not encylopedic, not relevant, or completely biased. There was also a big formatting issue and a reference issue that I tried to solve. The article still needs a lot of work, and there is a lot of information that needs sources.

Some charter flights have been deleted from "Airlines and Destinations". Either all sould be retained or all deleted. Consistency principle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.1.76.213 ( talk) 07:37, 24 December, 2007 (UTC)

The British Airways route to Gatwick starting in November 2017 is not true. BA has no (current) intention of starting flights between Goa and London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.9.243.143 ( talk) 17:10, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
How can a Sea Harrier overshoot the runway? They land vertically. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 08:57, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Can anyone please confirm the ICAO airport code for Dabolim? Most websites I have checked say VAGO but I cannot find a solid source to confirm.

The page name should be Dabolim Airport as this is the most commonly used name.
Wikipedia:Article titles states: Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources.
Dabolim Airport is the most frequently used name by the people, the government and the media. Some may refer to it as "Goa Airport" either because they do not know the location (Dabolim) or because it is the only airport in Goa. I personally have never heard it being called "Goa International Airport".
