The shift will mark the cessation of Qatar Airways’ operations at Dabolim Airport on 20th June 2024. The last departure from Hamad International Airport (DOH) to GOI is scheduled for 19th June 2024, with the final departure from GOI to DOH slated for 20th June 2024.
The decision comes as part of Qatar Airways’ commitment to providing superior services to its passengers, with the new airport promising an enhanced travel experience.

The modern infrastructure of the Manohar International Airport, coupled with its proximity to hotels and public transportation, is expected to elevate the overall passenger experience. This move underscores Qatar Airways’ dedication to offering seamless connectivity to its network of over 170 destinations worldwide.
