डाबोलिम हवाई अड्डे की क्षमता 85 लाख यात्री सालाना है, लेकिन 'कार्गो; (माल) परिवहन की सुविधा नहीं है जबकि नए हवाई अड्डे पर कार्गो की भी सुविधा है. बहरहाल, नए हवाई अड्डे की अंतिम कमीशनिंग और लॉन्च से उत्तरी गोवा में और उसके आसपास जमीन की कीमतों में बढ़ोतरी होगी. एक बार जब दोनों हवाई अड्डे शुरू होंगे तो बाजार की मांग तय करेगी कि कौन कितना ट्रैफिक संभालता है, लेकिन कम से कम डाबोलिम में आने वाली बाधाओं को पूरे राज्य के लिए हटा दिया जाएगा. मोपा एयरपोर्ट का विरोध करने वालों ने तर्क दिया कि 2100 एकड़ भूमि उस राज्य में आवंटित करना, जहां विकास के लिए भूमि शुरू करने के लिए दुर्लभ है, पूरी तरह से बेकार है. फॉर्चुन टाइम्स की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, नागरिक उड्डयन मंत्रालय (MOCA) के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी का कहना है, "डाबोलिम में प्रतिबंधों ने अब तक गोवा को अपनी पूरी क्षमता का पता लगाने या उसका दोहन करने की अनुमति नहीं दी है." हालांकि, अधिकारियों का तर्क है कि सुबह और दोपहर में एक घंटा उड़ान नहीं होने के कारण घरेलू परिचालन भी बाधित रहता है. गोवा के नागरिक उड्डयन निदेशक सुरेश शानभोगु और उनके जैसे अन्य लोगों के लिए जो 2014-15 से इस परियोजना से जुड़े हुए हैं, मोपा हवाई अड्डे का अंतिम उद्घाटन एक सपने के सच होने जैसा है. उत्तरी गोवा के मोपा में स्थित इस हवाई अड्डे पर 2,870 करोड़ रुपये की लागत आई है. 1990 के दशक में इस हवाई अड्डे की परिकल्पना की गई थी. हालांकि, इतने विरोध के बावजूद केंद्र सरकार ने हवाई अड्डे के निर्माण का फैसला लिया. फिर भी करीब दो दशक बाद, निजी तौर पर प्रबंधित और निर्मित, नया हवाई अड्डा इस छोटे से राज्य की धुरी को बदलने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार है. हालांकि, कुछ लोगों का मानना है कि छोटे से राज्य में दूसरे हवाई अड्डे की कोई जरूरत नहीं है.
