Airlines and schedule frequency on this Maharashtra route
IndiGo is the dominant carrier between Aurangabad (IXU) and Mumbai (BOM), typically running 2–3 daily departures. Air India and SpiceJet add further options, particularly in the early morning and early evening windows that suit business travellers. Schedules shift seasonally; always check live timetables on FlightGPT. The route is short enough that airlines use narrow-body A320-family jets or ATR turboprops depending on load. All flights are non-stop — there is no multi-stop domestic itinerary on this thin corridor.
What the fare actually includes — and what it doesn't
As of June 2026, economy fares on IXU–BOM start around ₹2,500 one-way on IndiGo's Saver fare, rising to ₹5,500–₹8,000 when booked last-minute or on premium flexi tickets. The base fare on budget carriers typically excludes checked baggage (15 kg is standard on IndiGo's cheapest domestic bucket) and meals. If you need to check a bag, adding 15 kg at the time of booking costs roughly ₹450–₹700; paying at the airport is significantly more expensive. Seat selection, priority boarding and cancellation waivers are add-ons on all LCC fares.
Mumbai airport terminals — T1 vs. T2 explained
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has two passenger terminals. T2 handles all international flights and most Air India domestic services; T1 (domestic terminal) handles IndiGo, SpiceJet and most other LCC domestic arrivals. If you are landing in Mumbai to connect to an international flight departing from T2, allow at least 2 hours and use the free inter-terminal shuttle bus that runs every 20–30 minutes. Clear signs inside T1 arrivals indicate the shuttle stop. Taxis and auto-rickshaws are not permitted within the terminal boundary — use the designated taxi zone or app-based cabs from the upper level.
Travel time vs. driving — the case for flying
The Aurangabad–Mumbai highway (NH52 and NH60) covers ≈ 335 km and typically takes 5.5–6.5 hours by car or bus, depending on traffic near the Pune bypass and Mumbai entry. The Shivneri luxury bus takes about 6 hours. The train (Devagiri Express) takes ≈ 7–8 hours. A 1h 10m flight at ₹2,500–₹4,000 one-way is often the obvious choice for anyone whose time has measurable value. The catch is airport overhead — IXU is compact and fast, but BOM arrival on the T1 side can add 45–60 minutes of taxi queue time during peak hours.
Documents you need — no visa, just a valid photo ID
This is a domestic route within India, so no visa or passport is required. A government-issued photo ID is mandatory for boarding: Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, driving licence or passport all qualify. Student IDs and company IDs are not accepted. DigiYatra (the biometric boarding system) is available at both IXU and BOM, letting you skip the boarding-pass queue at security if you have pre-registered your Aadhaar-linked face. Airlines will confirm your ID match at the check-in kiosk or counter. Keep a printed or digital copy of your booking on a charged phone.
Tips for the Aurangabad Airport experience
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport (IXU) is a compact, well-run facility. Parking is inexpensive and the terminal is not crowded relative to metros — arriving 60 minutes before departure is usually sufficient. The check-in counters open 2 hours before departure; web check-in (available 48h before) saves time. There is a small café airside offering snacks and beverages. If you are travelling to Ajanta or Ellora caves and staying in Mumbai, note that Aurangabad also has decent taxi-hire services for a day-trip from the airport itself. The Ellora caves are ≈ 30 km from IXU and Ajanta is ≈ 100 km.
