Goa allocates Rs 2 crore to expand international flight services, says Minister Khaunte

Goa's state administration has set aside a fund of Rs 2 crore aimed at strengthening the state's international flight network, Minister Khaunte announced on Monday. The allocation is part of a broader effort to position Goa as a more accessible global tourism hub.
The money will be directed toward upgrading airport infrastructure, improving passenger services, and offering incentives to airlines willing to launch or increase direct overseas routes. Officials expect the measures to attract higher foreign tourist inflows and generate additional revenue for the local economy.
Implementation is slated to begin in the coming weeks, with the state seeking partnerships with both domestic and foreign carriers. The ministry will monitor progress and report on the impact of the investment in the next fiscal review.
