Goa is all set to welcome its second international airport, Mopa Airport, and it's slated to operate from September 1, 2022. The Mopa Airport is a greenfield airport in Pernem, and is expected to reduce a considerable amount of air traffic load from the existing airport, Dabolim Airport, the state’s only airport.
The current airport, Dabolim Airport is located in a military airbase INS Hansa, and is shared by the Indian Navy. Mopa Airport, as a civilian airport, aims to boost tourism in the state as it will cater to civilian traffic in full capacity.
