Go First is planning to fly 42 weekly flights to three domestic destinations from the New Mopa, North Goa airport. Go First direct flights would connect Goa to Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad in the current network plan, the airline said in a statement. Currently, the airline continues to operate from its current airfield at Dabolim airport in South Goa, with 65 non-stop weekly flights to various domestic destinations.
Kaushik Khona, Chief Executive Officer at Go First said: “As we expand our network in leisure destinations, Goa is an extremely important destination for us. The new station is a move toward bolstering domestic connectivity to cater to the increased demand for leisure destinations. Currently, only 70 flights land at the Dabolim airport, a civil enclave, every day. No landing is permitted from 9 am to 2 pm at the facility."
Go First has been on a growth trajectory in recent times by initiating new domestic and international sectors.
