Why there is no Ahmedabad–Rajkot flight
Ahmedabad and Rajkot sit only about 215 km apart in Gujarat — far too close for a scheduled flight to make sense. By the time you add airport check-in, security and the transfer to and from the airports, driving is faster end to end. As a result no airline flies this route, and you should plan a road or rail journey instead.
If an online search shows an 'Ahmedabad to Rajkot flight', it will be a multi-stop connection through a distant hub that takes far longer than simply driving — not a sensible option.
Rajkot's airport — Hirasar (HSR), not the old city airport
This is the key fact for planners: Rajkot's old city-centre Civil Airport (code RAJ) has closed. It has been replaced by the new Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar (HSR), about 30 km from the city on the Ahmedabad highway. HSR connects to metros such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune with IndiGo and Air India — but it has no service to Ahmedabad, which is so close it shares much of the same catchment.
So if you are flying into the region from elsewhere, you would land at either Ahmedabad (AMD) or Rajkot Hirasar (HSR) and then travel by road between the two cities.
Best way to travel between Ahmedabad and Rajkot
The two practical options are road and rail:
- By road (best): the Ahmedabad–Rajkot highway is a good four-lane route. A car or taxi takes about 4 to 5 hours for the roughly 215 km, and frequent Volvo and state buses run the corridor all day.
- By train: several daily trains connect Ahmedabad and Rajkot in around 4 to 5 hours, a comfortable and economical choice.
For most travellers a pre-booked taxi or an intercity bus is the simplest door-to-door solution.
Flying into the region — which airport to use
If your real journey starts somewhere else in India, choose your arrival airport by destination:
- Heading to Ahmedabad city: fly into Ahmedabad (AMD), which has the widest network and the most frequencies.
- Heading to Rajkot or Saurashtra: fly into Rajkot Hirasar (HSR) for metros it serves, or use AMD as a fallback and drive the 215 km.
Because HSR's network is narrower than Ahmedabad's, many travellers from smaller cities still route via AMD and then take the road to Rajkot.
Ahmedabad airport (AMD) at a glance
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) is Gujarat's busiest airport, with separate domestic (Terminal 1) and international (Terminal 2) buildings, about 9 km from central Ahmedabad. It is the natural arrival point for the wider Saurashtra region when your home city does not have a direct HSR link, after which you continue to Rajkot by road.
Rajkot Hirasar airport (HSR) at a glance
Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar (HSR) opened to replace the cramped old city airport. It has a single modern terminal and sits about 30 km from Rajkot on the Ahmedabad road, so allow time for the transfer into the city. It connects Rajkot to several metros but, again, not to Ahmedabad.
Getting around on the ground
From Ahmedabad airport, app cabs, pre-paid taxis and autos reach the city in 20–30 minutes. From Hirasar (HSR), budget for the roughly 30 km drive into Rajkot by taxi or app cab. For the Ahmedabad–Rajkot corridor itself, intercity buses depart frequently from both cities, and self-drive or chauffeured cars are widely available for a flexible door-to-door trip.
Saurashtra — the travel case for Rajkot
Rajkot is the gateway to Saurashtra. From here travellers reach Gondal, Jamnagar, the Gir forest (Asiatic lions), Somnath, Dwarka and Porbandar. Rajkot itself has Gandhi heritage at Kaba Gandhi no Delo and a lively textile and snack culture. Most onward Saurashtra journeys are by road, so arriving via Ahmedabad or Hirasar and continuing by car fits the region well.
Travel tips and weather
Gujarat is best from October to March, when the weather is dry and pleasant. April to June is very hot across both cities, and July to September brings the monsoon, which can slow road travel. For the Ahmedabad–Rajkot drive, start early to avoid the afternoon heat in summer, carry water, and pre-book intercity transport during festival periods such as Navratri, when demand surges.
