Goa - Airports

Goa International Airport

Located 30 kilometres from Dabolim in the capital city Panjim of Goa, and close by to the port town of Vasco da Gama, the Goa Airport is the main air transportation services provider in Goa. Several major airlines in South Asia provide frequent flights to and from Goa Airport. Indian Airlines, Air India, Jet Airways and Sahara Airlines are among the airlines serving at Goa Airport.

Most major international airlines generally have agreements with one or more of their domestic counterparts in India. This is a convenience for the tourists arriving in Goa, as they can book any domestic flights (upon arrival in India) at the same time of purchasing the international flight ticket.
