The first charter flight for the season will touch down in Goa from Russia with nearly 500 tourists on October 2 marking a symbolic beginning to the State’s tourism season.
Goa Concord Exotic Voyages (P) Ltd will bring its first charter flight of Russian tourists to Goa. The flight will arrive on October 2 and is scheduled to land at 8.30 am at Dabolim.
The flight will have close to 500 passengers and will be welcomed by officials of the Goa Tourism in the traditional Goan way with a brass band and music serenaders.
In a statement to media, Sheikh Ismail of Concord Exotic Voyages said it is for the first time in more than 10 years that a charter flight with tourists has come in as early as in the first week of October.
The first flight to bring in tourists into Goa was initially to be a FlyDubai flight bringing in tourists from Russia via Dubai. However that flight got cancelled.
