Heads up if you're planning a Good Friday weekend in Goa

Goa's lone airport is heading for an annual maintenance closure for three days during the day time from April 5 onwards, forcing airline companies to reschedule their flights for this coastal destination. The Indian Navy, which maintains the airstrip, has announced that the airport will be closed for all civil and military flying between 7 am and 4 pm  from April 5-8.


The Airports Authority of India (AAI) spokesman said that every day 25-35 flights will have to be rescheduled owing to the suspension of airstrip during the day time. The AAI has not received any intimation of cancellations from the domestic or international flights.
