Overview

Officially Goa International Airport but still widely known as Dabolim, it's located around 26 km from the state capital, Panaji, and is jointly operated with the Indian Navy - one of only a handful of civil-military airports in India. It handled around 7.2 million passengers in FY2024-25, though traffic has been easing since the newer Manohar International Airport (Mopa, GOX) opened in the state's north in 2022 and took over most long-haul and charter services.

Where It Connects To

Dabolim now handles mostly domestic traffic, with some international charter services continuing.

• Domestic: major Indian cities, flown by all the main domestic carriers.
• International: seasonal charter flights, primarily from the Middle East, the UK and Russia.

Airlines

IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet and Akasa Air all serve Dabolim on domestic routes.

Terminal

A single integrated terminal, opened in 2013, handles both domestic and international arrivals, with capacity for up to 2,750 passengers an hour.

Getting To and From Panaji

Pre-paid taxis and app-based cabs are the most reliable way to Panaji or Goa's beach towns; state buses also connect the airport to nearby towns, though less frequently.

Facilities

Dabolim's terminal can feel busy at peak times given its size, but covers the basics - cafes, shops and waiting areas for both arrivals and departures.
