History Goa Dabolim Airport
The Portuguese took over the Goa area in the past. They had an airport built in 1955. On a 100 hectare piece of land, the airport Aeroporto de Dabolim is open for flights. At that time, the airline Transportes Aéreos da Índia Portuguesa offered flights with departures to Karachi, Daman, and Mozambique, among others. In the early 1960’s, the airport was attacked by the Indian Air Force. Several infrastructures were destroyed. It was then taken over by the Indian Navy’s air wing.
Goa departures were resumed from 1966 after the runway had been repaired. It took a while before a new terminal appeared. First one for domestic travel and later for international flights as well. In 2006 a plan was drawn up to considerably improve the airport. Unfortunately, there were some delays and in the end a different plan had to be made. A completely new terminal was built where both domestic and international flights had to be processed. Facilities were also built such as a multi-level car park. The airport offers 75 check-in counters for the people who have Goa airport departures. You enter the departures hall through security checks. Here are 8 aerobridges that can be connected to the planes.
