NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday issued the aerodrome licence to Mopa Airport, making Goa the first Indian city-state to have two airports that will soon witness regular commercial flights.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new airport built by the GMR Group in coming weeks after which the new facility will become operational.
Airlines like IndiGo have indicated they will operate from both the existing Dabolim Airport and the new one at Mopa.
