Dabolim Airport (IATA: GOI, ICAO: VOGO) is an international airport serving the state of Goa, India. It is the primary airport of the state of Goa. It is operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) as a civil enclave in an Indian Navy naval airbase named INS Hansa. The airport is located in Dabolim, in South Goa district, 4 km (2.5 mi) from the nearest city of Vasco da Gama, 23 km (14 mi) from Margao, and about 30 km (19 mi) from the state capital, Panaji.The airport's integrated terminal was inaugurated in December 2013. It was designed by Creative Group, an India-based architecture firm. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the airport handled around 8.5 million passengers. Several European charter airlines fly to Goa seasonally, typically between November and May. Flights from the UK (London Gatwick Airport and Manchester Airport) are operated by TUI Airways. There are also several seasonal charter flights to various Russian cities. Because of capacity constraints at the terminal and air traffic congestion due to the military and naval presence, a second airport at Mopa was proposed. It completed its construction on 11 December 2022, with operations starting from 5 January 2023. It is located approximately 60 km (37 mi) away from Dabolim Airport.
