This short North Malabar hop is served non-stop by IndiGo and Air India Express, with several departures spread across the day. IndiGo carries the most frequency; Air India Express adds Boeing 737 options. Together they give you roughly four to five non-stops on a typical day.
It's a genuinely direct route — you should rarely need a connection. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore any old listings showing those names.
The distance is only about 410 km, so the flight is brief — roughly 1h 10m gate-to-gate on an A320neo or 737. With taxi and climb, actual cruise is short; expect a quick service with minimal onboard frills. It's one of the faster ways to reach Kannur and the North Malabar coast from Bengaluru, versus an overnight train or a long road drive.
Kannur sees strong NRI (Gulf-returnee) and festival traffic, so fares firm up around Onam, school holidays and the December wedding season. Booking 2–4 weeks ahead usually lands a reasonable fare on this short route.
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Aug–Sep (Onam) | Very high | Highest |
| Apr–May (summer holidays) | High | Firmer |
| Dec (wedding/holiday season) | High | Firmer |
| Jun–Jul (monsoon) | Low–moderate | Often cheapest |

On a route this short, the gap between cheap and peak seats is mostly about timing. Mid-week flights and the early/late slots tend to be cheapest. Travel cabin-only to dodge baggage fees on IndiGo's lighter fares. Compare IndiGo against Air India Express directly — Express sometimes undercuts on the same slot, and its checked allowance can make the all-in cost lower if you're carrying bags.
Morning departures get you to Kannur with the day intact for onward travel to Thalassery, Bekal or the Wayanad foothills. Midday flights are often the quietest and cheapest. If you're connecting onward by road into the hills, an earlier arrival avoids driving Kerala's winding roads after dark.
Families and NRI travellers: book early around Onam and December — these are the route's tightest weeks. Business travellers: the frequency supports a same-day return, but the last flight can sell out, so hold a confirmed seat. Students/budget flyers: monsoon months and mid-week midday flights are the cheapest; with only cabin baggage you'll often beat the train on time and price combined.
Bengaluru's Kempegowda airport (BLR) operates two terminals — most domestic flights use T1, while a growing share (including parts of Air India's network) use the newer T2. Check your boarding pass, as the terminals are linked but distinct. Kannur International (CNN), at Mattannur, has a single modern terminal that is easy to navigate.
Bengaluru airport is well outside the city — allow 60–90 minutes from central areas via the airport expressway, plus the BMTC Vayu Vajra buses and app cabs. Kannur airport is about 25–30 km from Kannur town and well placed for Thalassery and Iritty; prepaid taxis, app cabs and some KSRTC buses serve the route.
Economy typically gives 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin, varying by fare. See IndiGo baggage and Air India Express baggage for exact limits. Gulf-returnee travellers carrying extra should pre-buy excess online — it's cheaper than paying at the airport counter.
North Malabar gets heavy southwest monsoon (Jun–Aug), so carry rain gear and expect humid heat much of the year. The post-monsoon and winter months (Oct–Feb) are the most pleasant for visiting Bekal, Thalassery and the Theyyam season. Pack light for a short flight and clear security at BLR early during peak hours.
On a 70-minute route, two flights at the same time of day can differ mainly by airline and baggage rules. Use FlightGPT to line up IndiGo and Air India Express side by side, factor in your checked-bag needs, and book the genuinely cheaper all-in fare rather than just the lowest base price.
