IndiGo launches 168 weekly flights to new Goa airport

IndiGo Thursday launched 168 weekly flights from Goa’s new airport.

The airline will operate these flights between Mopa and 8 domestic destinations like Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad.

“The new network will cater to the increasing demand owing to the popularity of Goa as a preferred leisure travel destination and will provide more options to the customers, making travel more affordable and enhancing direct connectivity to North Goa,” said IndiGo in a statement.


The present Goa Dabolim Airport, South Goa will remain active, and IndiGo continues its existing operations there.

Built on 2,132 acres, the new airport, unlike the existing one which is a naval base, will cater to a much higher number of passengers. It has the capacity to handle 4.4 million passengers per annum initially and will be developed in phases thereafter, with a saturation capacity of about 33 million passengers per annum.
