NEED FOR MORE

Goa is one of the most sought after tourist destinations in India. The city sees more foreign football in the peak season (December to February) than domestic travelers. Keeping in mind the huge rush, there was a rising need of better facilities at the airport. As an Answer to this increasing need for improved facilities and growing capacity, the new terminal was given a makeover. It can now handle up to 2,750 passengers during peak hours (2,000 domestic and 750 international passengers approximately), the equivalent of an annual capacity of 4.5 million passengers.

SPACIOUS & MODERN

The new terminal is now an integrated building capable of handling both domestic and international operations with equal ease. The Terminal building is equipped with modern, state of art facilities. Five passenger boarding bridges, CUTE-enabled check in counters (Common User Terminal Equipment) which make the check in process more comfortable during rush hours, inline compatible baggage handling system, software based building management system, elevators and escalators.. All these and much more will all enable the airport to handle more passengers, with ease. With more space and modern designing, the terminal is now all set to welcome visitors to Goa. According to Airport Authority sources, the next plan is to further develop the western side finger of the terminal building, to enhance the handling capacity and operational efficiency.
