Manohar International Airport — Mopa, India

Opened in the early 2020s at Mopa in northern Goa, GOX represents the state's newest air gateway, built to relieve pressure on the older, military-shared Dabolim airport further south. The airport honors Manohar Parrikar, a former Goa chief minister and national defense minister credited with championing the project during his political career, though he did not live to see its completion. Designed with an eye toward sustainability, the terminal incorporates local laterite stone and green-building principles aimed at reducing its environmental footprint in a state whose economy depends heavily on tourism and coastal ecology. GOX has gradually attracted both domestic carriers and international charter services catering to Goa's beach resorts, positioning northern Goa as an increasingly independent arrival point separate from the traditional southern tourist circuit centered on Dabolim.
