Aurangabad to Navi Mumbai flights — quick facts

The evening IndiGo rotation from Chikalthana

IndiGo moved its evening Mumbai–Aurangabad–Mumbai rotation to Navi Mumbai when the summer schedule started on 29 Mar, 2026. The aircraft arrives from NMI in the evening and turns round quickly: recent listings show flight 6E 6093 leaving Aurangabad around 20:55–21:00 and landing at Navi Mumbai about 55 minutes later. It is the only non-stop between the two cities. IndiGo's morning flights between Aurangabad and the older Mumbai airport at Santacruz continue separately, so choose the airport that is closer to where you are going. Confirm the current time when you compare on FlightGPT.

Aurangabad or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: the airport's name

The city was officially renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and the Government of India ordered the airport renamed in December 2025, but that renaming was later put on hold by the Airports Authority of India. Booking sites therefore list it variously as Aurangabad, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar or simply IXU — all the same airport at Chikalthana. When searching, the IATA code avoids confusion. The terminal has about 190,000 square feet of floor area and two aerobridges, and is served by IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express.

Getting to IXU for a 9 pm departure

One advantage of Aurangabad is how close the airport is: Chikalthana is about 5.5 km east of the city centre and roughly 11 km from Aurangabad railway station, along the Jalna Road. From CIDCO, Nirala Bazar or the old city, it is usually a 15–25 minute drive in the evening. If you are coming back from Ellora (about 30 km) after a day of sightseeing, leave by around 18:30 to be safe; from Ajanta (about 100 km) you need to set off by mid-afternoon. Arrive at the terminal 75 minutes before departure.

Landing at Ulwe: late-night onward travel

The flight lands at Navi Mumbai International Airport around 22:00. NMI opened on 25 Dec, 2025 and sits at Ulwe, roughly 35 km from the older Mumbai airport. At that hour, an app cab or pre-booked car is the most reliable way out. Typical times: 20–45 minutes to Vashi, Belapur, Kharghar or Panvel; around an hour to south Mumbai via the Atal Setu harbour bridge; longer to Thane or the western suburbs. Because the airport is new, check the latest official guidance on pick-up zones and night public transport before you fly, and share your arrival time with whoever is collecting you.

Who uses the Aurangabad–Navi Mumbai flight

Most passengers are business travellers from the Waluj, Shendra and Chikalthana industrial areas (auto components, pharma and manufacturing) heading to offices in Navi Mumbai, Thane or Mumbai, and students and families with ties to Navi Mumbai's nodes. The evening slot lets you finish a full working day in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and still sleep in the Mumbai region. Tourists returning from Ajanta and Ellora also use it. For travellers to Panvel, Kharghar or Belapur, NMI is far closer than Santacruz, which can save an hour of road time.

IndiGo baggage and a short-sector tip

IndiGo domestic economy includes 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag plus a small personal item. On a 55-minute flight, travelling with cabin baggage only gets you out of NMI faster at 22:00, when you will want to avoid waiting at the belt. Popular Aurangabad purchases include Paithani saris and Himroo shawls; carry expensive textiles in the cabin. Bidriware and heavier handicrafts are better in checked baggage with padding. If you need more than 15 kg, pre-pay online before the trip.

Busy weeks and the road alternative via Samruddhi

The evening flight fills up on Sunday nights, at the end of the Diwali and Ganeshotsav holidays, and before long weekends. Ganeshotsav (August–September) is especially busy in the Mumbai region. With only one non-stop a day, when it is full, the alternatives are:

Before you search Aurangabad to Navi Mumbai

Work out if your final address is closer to NMI (Navi Mumbai, Panvel, harbour-side south Mumbai) or to Santacruz (western suburbs, Andheri, Bandra) before choosing between the evening NMI flight and the morning flights to the older airport. Carry an original photo ID such as Aadhaar, a driving licence or a passport. Monsoon evenings (June–September) can bring heavy rain and low cloud on the approach into Ulwe, so keep a margin before any late-night commitment, and keep your phone charged for the cab booking on landing.
