Ahmedabad to Keshod flights — quick facts

Who flies Ahmedabad to Keshod, and how often?

Only Alliance Air operates this route. October 2026 listings show one non-stop on most days, timed in the morning or early afternoon depending on the day, with a scheduled block of about 55 minutes. Alliance Air flies it with an ATR 72 turboprop, so expect around 70 seats, a propeller-driven climb and a cruise well below jet altitudes, which on a clear winter morning gives good views over the Saurashtra plains. Because a single aircraft serves several small Gujarat airports in sequence, the timetable can shift between seasons and individual days may be cancelled. Search the route on FlightGPT for your exact date, and if nothing shows, check the day before and after before deciding the trip cannot be done by air.

Why travellers fly into Keshod rather than Rajkot or Diu

Keshod sits in Junagadh district, close to the southern coast of Saurashtra. That makes it the most convenient airport for three big draws:

Rajkot's new Hirasar airport has more flights but is about 150–170 km from Somnath. Diu is closer to the Gir coast but has few flights from Ahmedabad. For a pilgrimage or a Gir safari, Keshod usually cuts the longest road leg of the trip.

Leaving from Ahmedabad's SVPI airport

Flights depart from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD), about 9–10 km north-east of the old city and closer to Gandhinagar than most of west Ahmedabad. App cabs and pre-paid taxis are the usual way in; from SG Highway or Prahlad Nagar allow 40–60 minutes in the evening peak. AMD has two terminals used for domestic flights, and airline allocations have moved in recent years, so check the terminal printed on your Alliance Air boarding pass rather than assuming. Small turboprops often board by bus from a remote stand, which adds a few minutes. Reach the airport 90 minutes to two hours before departure; queues at security are heaviest in the 6–9 am bank.

Alliance Air baggage on a small ATR

Alliance Air's standard domestic economy fares typically include 15 kg of check-in baggage plus 7 kg of cabin baggage, but confirm the allowance on your ticket, because promotional fares can differ. The bigger practical point is the aircraft. An ATR 72 has small overhead bins, so wheeled cabin bags are often tagged at the aircraft door and placed in the hold. Keep medicines, chargers, a light jacket and travel documents in a soft bag you can hold on your lap. Pilgrims carrying prasad, coconuts or puja items should pack them in checked luggage where possible. Excess weight is cheaper when prepaid than when paid at the counter.

Getting from Keshod airport to Somnath, Junagadh and Gir

Keshod Airport (IXK) is a small single-terminal field just outside Keshod town. There is no rail or bus link from the terminal itself, so arrange a taxi in advance through your hotel or a local operator. Typical road times are about an hour to Somnath, a similar time to Junagadh, and 1.5–2 hours to Sasan Gir via Mendarda. Keshod railway station, a few kilometres away, has trains toward Veraval and Junagadh if you prefer rail for the onward leg. Mobile data works in the area, and app cabs may be thin, so a pre-booked car is the safer choice for a family or anyone heading straight to a safari slot.

Gir season, Kartik fairs and when fares climb

Demand on this route follows the Saurashtra calendar. The Gir National Park core opens on 16 October each year and closes for the monsoon from 16 June, so October to May is the busy window for safari travellers. Somnath draws large crowds in the Hindu month of Shravan and on Mahashivratri, and the Girnar Lili Parikrama around Kartik (usually November) fills Junagadh. Diwali, Christmas–New Year and Gujarat's school holidays add pressure on a route with only around 70 seats a day. On those dates, search on FlightGPT early and compare more than one day; on a single-flight route, the cheapest seats go first and there is no second departure to fall back on.

If the Keshod flight is full: other ways to reach Saurashtra

When the Alliance Air flight is sold out or cancelled, the realistic alternatives are by land or through Rajkot. Rajkot (RAJ) has more frequent jet services from Ahmedabad's network, though the road onward to Somnath is long. Trains such as those running Ahmedabad to Veraval take roughly 8–9 hours, and state and private buses run overnight. By car the drive is about 7–8 hours depending on the route through Rajkot or Bhavnagar. For a short trip of two or three days, the Keshod flight is worth planning around; for a week-long Saurashtra circuit, flying in and driving out can work well. The Keshod to Ahmedabad page covers the return.

Practical tips for a smooth Ahmedabad–Keshod trip

Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure, and on a 70-seat aircraft it is worth doing early if you want a window on the right side for coastal views. Carry a government photo ID such as Aadhaar, a driving licence or a passport. Keep your onward plan flexible by a few hours: if fog or a technical delay hits the aircraft earlier in its rotation, small-airport flights can run late. Gir safari permits are sold online by the Gujarat Forest Department and sell out in peak months, so book the permit before the flight. Finally, search and compare on FlightGPT, then book directly with the airline or travel partner it sends you to.

Which airline flies from Ahmedabad to Keshod?

Alliance Air is the only airline flying Ahmedabad (AMD) to Keshod (IXK) non-stop. IndiGo, Air India and Akasa Air do not serve Keshod, so any other itinerary will involve a connection or a road leg from Rajkot.

When is the best time to fly Ahmedabad to Keshod for Gir?

Gir National Park opens to safaris on 16 October and closes from 16 June. Flying Ahmedabad to Keshod between November and March gives cooler weather; book flights and Gujarat Forest Department safari permits together, as both sell out.
