Times OOH (Times Innovative Media Limited) has bagged the advertisement contract for the newly developed MOPA Airport in Goa. This is an exclusive deal with a 20-year tenure for the second airport in Goa. This project is a Greenfield Airport in North Goa, that is set to revolutionize air transportation facilities in the city.

The new airport in North Goa, popularly known as the MOPA Airport, is being developed by the GMR group. The development of this second airport in Goa will ease the flying restrictions and constraints related to the capacity in the existing airport. It should be noted that the current airport at Dabolim is actually a strong naval and military base. Consequently, the flight timing and frequency are greatly affected amidst a growing population in the city.

To ease up the current restrictions, the MOPA Airport will be developed in four phases. The targeted passenger capacity in the first few phases is 13 million. The Dabolim airport has a capacity of 8 million passengers per year. The new airport is set to be developed as a full-service one, that would serve both domestic and international flights. Along with passenger flights, it would also support air freight services. Currently, the first phase of the airport is complete and operational. Commercial operations have already started from the MOPA airport from January 5, 2023.

For tourists, North Goa has been a prominent hotspot. Thousands of tourists from India and abroad come to this part of the city to explore its popular beaches. The nightlife in Goa also appeals to the tourists. Therefore, the development of the airport would be convenient for the travellers to make their transit. The airport authorities have scripted a successful partnership for advertisement with the GMR Group, which is a positive development.

The strategic location of the new airport would facilitate international flights. Unlike the existing airport, there would be no restrictions on fly-time. Therefore, this airport will emerge as the preferred point of landing for travellers and tourists in Goa.
