IndiGo is the dominant carrier on IXU–BLR, typically operating 1–2 daily services with its A320 family fleet. Air India Express complements with an additional morning or evening slot. Both carriers offer competitive economy fares on this short-haul segment. Chikkalthana Airport (IXU) is a small civil-enclave airport — only one or two airlines operate at any given time, so flight choices are limited. It is advisable to book 3–4 weeks ahead to secure seats, especially on Monday mornings and Friday evenings when IT-corridor commuters and business travellers dominate the load factor.
One-way economy fares on IXU–BLR typically range from ₹2,500 to ₹7,500 for bookings made 2–4 weeks ahead. Last-minute fares (under 48h) can spike to ₹10,000–14,000. Return fares for a leisure trip booked 3–4 weeks out generally fall in the ₹5,500–12,000 range. Prices are lower mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) versus weekend departures. Note that IXU has limited competition — prices are generally 15–20% higher per kilometre than on high-frequency metro routes. Check FlightGPT's live search for the best available fare on your dates.
As a domestic Indian route, no passport or visa is required. You need a valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving licence, or Indian passport are all accepted at check-in and security. Digital copies of Aadhaar via DigiLocker are accepted at most airports as of June 2026. DigiYatra (biometric boarding) is available at Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) — enrol once via the DigiYatra app and skip the document check queue on future trips. IXU (Chikkalthana) does not yet have DigiYatra, so carry your physical boarding pass or a clear screenshot.
Aurangabad's Chikkalthana Airport (IXU) is a compact civil-enclave facility shared with the Indian Air Force. The terminal is single-storey with limited pre-security shopping — a small café and a newsstand cover the basics. Security can move quickly given low footfall, but be at the airport at least 75 minutes before departure as check-in closes 45 minutes before STD. The airport has no aerobridges — boarding is via bus or walk-across tarmac. Parking is available outside the main gate at nominal rates. A prepaid taxi from Aurangabad city centre takes ≈ 20 min; the Ajanta–Ellora caves are 45–90 min by road from IXU.
Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) has two main terminals: T1 handles some domestic LCC arrivals, while T2 (the new premium terminal) handles Air India and several IndiGo services. Check your boarding pass for the correct terminal. From BLR to Electronic City (IT hub) it is ≈ 50 km — the BMTC Vayu Vajra bus takes ≈ 75 min at ₹300, while a cab via Uber/Ola is ≈ ₹700–1,100. The Namma Metro connects BLR airport to MG Road / Koramangala via the Purple Line extension — factor ≈ 60–70 min for this option. A Bengaluru cab is generally the most practical for business travellers with luggage.
The alternative surface option is the Aurangabad–Bengaluru train (≈ 16–18h on the Hazur Sahib Nanded – KSR Bengaluru express) or a bus/KSRTC service (≈ 10–12h overnight). The flight at ≈ 1h 20m clearly wins on time, especially for short business trips. However, the limited frequency (2–3 flights daily) means a missed flight has limited same-day alternatives — consider the morning IndiGo departure which typically has the most reliable on-time performance on this slot. For leisure travellers on a budget, the overnight Airavat Club Class bus (≈ ₹1,200–1,500) is a reasonable alternative for the 650 km journey.
The non-stop flight takes ≈ 1h 20m. Both cities are on IST so there is no time-zone adjustment needed.
IndiGo and Air India Express are the primary carriers, operating ≈ 2–3 daily non-stop services on this route as of June 2026.
One-way economy fares start from ≈ ₹2,500 booked 3–4 weeks ahead. Last-minute fares can reach ₹12,000–14,000. Mid-week departures are generally cheaper.
Any government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar (physical or DigiLocker), PAN card, driving licence, or passport. No visa required for this domestic route.
IndiGo uses both T1 and T2 at BLR depending on the service. Check your boarding pass — T2 (new terminal) is better equipped with more F&B and faster security lanes.
