Goa’s airport landscape is witnessing a clear shift in passenger traffic, with Dabolim Airport recording a 13% decline, while Mopa Airport has registered a 34% rise in passenger numbers.
The contrasting figures highlight the growing passenger movement through Mopa, even as traffic at Dabolim continues to fall year-on-year.
The shift is also reflected in flight operations, with 13 flights being moved from Dabolim to Mopa Airport.
For travellers, the changing flight pattern could mean that Mopa will continue to play a larger role in Goa’s air connectivity, while Dabolim’s share of passenger traffic gradually reduces.
The latest numbers have once again brought the spotlight on Goa’s two-airport system and the changing dynamics of air travel in the state.
