Aurangabad's Chikkalthana Airport (IXU) is a smaller airport with limited daily flights, so direct connectivity to Kolkata is not always available every day of the week. IndiGo has operated IXU–CCU non-stop services on select days; Air India has also served this route. When direct flights are unavailable or fully booked, connecting via Mumbai (BOM) is the most straightforward alternative — IXU to BOM takes ≈ 1h and BOM to CCU is ≈ 2h 20m. Via Pune (PNQ, ≈ 45 min from Aurangabad by road or 1h by air), onward connections to Kolkata are available on IndiGo. Always check live schedules as tier-2 non-stop routes can be seasonal.
Non-stop fares from Aurangabad to Kolkata as of June 2026 typically range from ≈ ₹4,500 one-way on a saver booking (6+ weeks ahead) to ₹9,000–₹12,000 for last-minute or peak-season travel. One-stop itineraries via Mumbai are often similarly priced but take 4–5 hours total. Round-trip fares of ₹9,000–₹18,000 are typical. The cheapest windows are February and September — avoid Durga Puja/Navratri (late September–October), when Kolkata demand surges and fares for CCU-bound flights spike across all originating cities.

IndiGo and Air India domestic economy class allow 15 kg and 25 kg checked baggage respectively as standard.
