Another passenger flight of IndiGo was the first to depart from the new airport in Goa to Hyderabad airport, sources told. Naik and Khaunte presented symbolic dummy boarding passes to the passengers who left on that flight.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Khaunte told the new airport will provide impetus to the tourism increase in the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first phase of the new airport on December 11, 2022.

The airport has been named after the late Manohar Parrikar, the former defense minister who had also served as the chief minister of Goa.

The 1st phase of the ₹ 2,870 crores Mopa International airport project will cater to approximately 4.4 million passengers per annum (MPPA), which can be expanded to a saturation capacity of 33 MPPA, an official earlier stated.

It has assumed some of the best-in-class technologies like 3-D Monolithic Precast buildings, StabilRoad, Robomatic Hollow precast walls, and 5G compatible IT infrastructure.
