By Air: Goa is well connected by airline services to most major cities in India. All flights, national and international, to and from Goa, operate from the Dabolim Airport near the port town of Vasco-da-Gama. The airport is about 30 kms from the capital city of Panaji and is owned by the Indian Navy. Major airline operators such as Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Jetlite, Go Air, Spice Jet, Indigo and Kingfisher Airlines have flights carrying passengers and cargo in and out of Goa. Besides these, a number of chartered flights land in Goa from UK and other European countries. The national airline Air India also lands a few international flights, especially from the Gulf countries.

By Rail: The Konkan Railway connects the western coastal areas of India and starts from Mumbai and passes via Goa to Mangalore with connections to almost every city and town en route. The nearest railway station is Karmali, which is situated 10-km away from the capital city.

By Road: Goa is connected with all the major towns in India via the National Highways NH4A (Goa-Belgaum route), NH17 (Mumbai-Goa route) and NH17A (Goa-Karwar route). In most places along the way, the highway roads are in excellent condition and motorable at fairly good speeds. Long-distance and local buses pull into Panjim at the town's busy Kadamba Bus Terminal, 3-km from Miramar Campus and 5-km from Porvorim Campus.
