True, GOI can be horrifying all year, especially at lunchtime. In their defence, Dabolim does have a lot of restrictions and limitations they have to work with.

Why they haven't ever seriously looked at building a whole new airport and leaving the Navy alone defeats me. Goa probably could do with two airports. At least if one were located a little north of Panjim it should be able to draw enough traffic.

That said, what's really irritating is the new-ish diktat on using buses. It's so annoying at small airports, when the plane is parked within spitting distance of the terminal door, yet they make you take a bus. The distance between terminal and plan can be shorter than the distance between terminal and plane.
