Starting May 23, IndiGo, a low-cost airline, will begin operating direct flights between Goa and Dehradun, connecting these popular tourist destinations. The direct flight route will link Manohar International Airport (Mopa) in Goa with Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
Rohan Khaunte, the Minister of Tourism for Goa, has scheduled to board the inaugural flight on May 23 to commemorate this collaboration between the two states.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Minister Khaunte emphasized the significance of direct flights in promoting spiritual tourism in Goa, aligning with the vision of Dakshin Kashi. He highlighted the accessibility of Goa’s archaeologically significant temples for tourists, who will now find it easier to visit these sites.
Additionally, the direct flight route will benefit tourists from Goa who are interested in experiencing Uttarakhand’s splendid natural beauty. This enhanced connectivity between the two states will enable visitors to explore the diverse cultural heritage, natural attractions, and adventure tourism opportunities offered by both Goa and Uttarakhand.
The collaboration between Goa and Uttarakhand in launching this direct flight service resonates with the ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ initiative. This initiative was introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to encourage domestic tourism and promote India’s rich heritage and vibrant culture. It seeks to inspire people to prioritize domestic travel over international trips.
Recent tourism statistics further demonstrate the potential impact of this new flight service. In 2021, Goa received 33 lakh domestic visitors, while Uttarakhand welcomed 1.9 crore domestic tourists, according to India Tourism Statistics 2022.
With the introduction of direct flights between Goa and Dehradun, tourists can now look forward to seamless travel, connecting two captivating destinations and enhancing their overall travel experience.
