Flight operations from the newly inaugurated, Mopa Airport in Goa will finally commence from January 5. Flights to and from many cities including Jaipur will be operational henceforth. Highly advanced 3-D monolithic precast technology has been adopted for the aviation skill development centre and the police station at the airport, along with 5G compatible IT infrastructure for better connectivity.
The state-of-the-art airport in Mopa will significantly improve connectivity as well as boost tourism in Goa. This new airport in north Goa, being built at a cost of ₹ 2,870 crore, is the second facility in the state in addition to the existing airport at Dabolim, South Goa. Dabolim Airport has a capacity to handle 85 lakh passengers a year, but it does not have a facility for cargo transportation, which the new airport will have.
