Goa Dabolim International Airport guide

Dabolim Airport serves Panaji, the capital of the Indian state of Goa, from a civil enclave inside INS Hansa, an Indian Navy airbase in Dabolim village. It opened in 1955 and is jointly owned by the Government of Goa and the Indian Navy, with the Airports Authority of India operating the civilian side. The current Integrated Terminal Building, completed in December 2013, replaced the airport's older facilities and was built to a design capacity of 5 million passengers a year.

Because the airfield is shared with active naval flight training, civilian traffic is restricted on weekday mornings, and the single runway has long created airside congestion at peak times. Passenger numbers have fallen since Manohar International Airport opened north of the state in January 2023, drawing off much of the leisure traffic that once concentrated at Dabolim.

IndiGo, Air India and Akasa Air anchor the domestic schedule to cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. International links are seasonal and thin: Gulf Air flies year-round to Bahrain, Air India Express runs seasonal Dubai service, and Aeroflot operates charters to Russia during the European winter, alongside charter flights from the United Kingdom.
