AIP referenceVOGO — AIP India (AAI eAIP, AD 2 VOGO)
Operating hoursH24 for ATS, customs and immigration per AIP India, but as a Navy-shared civil enclave at INS Hansa, civil flying is restricted five days a week 0830-1300 IST for naval flight training, during which civil aircraft cannot operate — about 15% of total weekly hours, concentrated in peak morning hours; scheduled civil traffic is concentrated roughly 1300-2100 IST on weekdays, and the runway can also close without notice for naval exercises or emergencies. (The draft's second 1530-1630 IST window, a Saturday 0730-1130 maintenance closure and a 1-7 May pre-monsoon closure are removed here — no accessible source corroborates them; verify directly against AIP India AD 2 VOGO if those specifics are needed.)
TerminalsSingle integrated terminal (opened Dec 2013, ~36,000 sqm) handling both domestic and international traffic, with 8 aerobridges, ~75 check-in counters and peak-hour capacity of roughly 2,750 passengers; 18 immigration counters on arrivals and 22 on departures, 8 customs counters.

Airport contact
Goa's original gateway airport, run as a civil enclave inside the Indian Navy's INS Hansa air station with naval flying taking scheduling priority; IndiGo and Air India Express carry the largest share of traffic, alongside Air India, SpiceJet and Akasa Air on domestic routes and Gulf/Southeast Asia international routes. Traffic has fallen sharply since Manohar International Airport (Mopa, GOX) opened in Jan 2023 and began absorbing domestic and especially international flights — AAI's FY2025-26 (Apr 2025-Mar 2026) traffic report shows passengers down 15.4% year-on-year to 6,126,944, implying roughly 7.24 million in FY2024-25 (the draft's precise '7,260,779' does not back out correctly from the -15.4% figure and has been replaced with this derived estimate).

Airports Authority of India (AAI)
AAI operates Dabolim as a civil-enclave airport (joint AAI/Indian Navy field, per Wikipedia and AAI's own airport contact listing). Cargo and ground-handling infrastructure at Dabolim is currently AAI's own (belly-space cargo processed via AAI facilities/machines during non-peak hours, per Wikipedia), consistent with AAI acting as the default facilitator/handler for carriers that do not self-handle. Unlike Mopa/GOX (where Bird Flight Services and Celebi India hold MoCA ground-handling approvals), no separately named third-party ground handling agency was found specifically for Dabolim, so the exact handling arrangement for non-self-handling carriers here is unconfirmed.
