Who flies Bangalore to Nanded, and how often?
Only Star Air connects the two cities non-stop. The Bengaluru-based regional airline, part of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, reopened Nanded to scheduled flying on 31 Mar, 2024, and Bangalore was one of its first routes from the airport. Star Air describes it as a daily service, and flight-tracking records through 2026 show it operating seven days a week, but a single-rotation route can be trimmed or retimed with little notice. Treat it as one flight a day and check the schedule for your exact date before you plan onward travel. There is no second carrier on the route, so if the Star Air flight is full or cancelled, your fallback is a connection through Hyderabad or Mumbai, or the train. Search and compare the day's options on FlightGPT, then book with the airline or travel partner you pick.
Flight time and the aircraft you will board at BLR
The great-circle distance is about 667 km, and the scheduled block time is roughly 1 hour 20 minutes. In the reverse direction, recent schedules have the Nanded departure in the late afternoon, which suggests the aircraft flies down from Bangalore earlier in the day and turns around at NDC. Star Air operates Embraer regional jets: the 50-seat ERJ 145 and the larger E175, which has a small business cabin. Both are jets rather than turboprops, so the trip is quicker and smoother than the ATR flights common at other small Maharashtra airports. Seats are two-by-one or two-by-two depending on the type, and overhead bins are small, so a soft cabin bag fits better than a hard trolley. Confirm the aircraft on your ticket if you care about the cabin.
Getting to Kempegowda early enough for a regional flight
Kempegowda International Airport sits at Devanahalli, about 35–40 km north of central Bangalore. From MG Road or Koramangala, allow 60–90 minutes by road; Hebbal flyover traffic on weekday evenings can push that past two hours. The BMTC Vayu Vajra airport buses run round the clock from Majestic, Silk Board, Electronic City and other hubs, and they are the cheapest reliable option. App cabs and the airport taxi rank work too. Star Air flights board by bus from a remote stand on many days, so the gate closes earlier than you might expect. Arrive at least 75 minutes before departure, use web check-in, and look at your boarding pass for the terminal and gate rather than assuming. DigiYatra face boarding is available at BLR if you have enrolled.
Arriving at Nanded: the airport and the ride to Hazur Sahib
Nanded Airport, named after Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, is a small single-terminal field on the edge of the city. The run into town is short, roughly 15–20 minutes by auto-rickshaw or taxi, and Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib, the reason many travellers come, is close to the centre on the bank of the Godavari. There is no airport bus, so agree the fare with an auto driver before you set off or ask your hotel or gurudwara accommodation to send a car. Arrivals are quick because there is one baggage belt and few flights a day. Keep some cash: smaller drivers do not always take UPI when the network is weak. The airport has limited food options, so eat before you leave Bangalore if you are arriving at night.
Baggage on Star Air between Bangalore and Nanded
Star Air's standard economy allowance is 15 kg of check-in baggage plus one cabin bag of up to 7 kg, within 55 x 35 x 25 cm. Business class on the E175 carries a higher allowance. Excess baggage is cheaper when you pre-pay online at least four hours before departure than at the counter, so buy extra weight in advance if you are carrying gifts, langar supplies or wedding luggage. On the ERJ 145 the overhead lockers are narrow; a full-size trolley may be tagged and sent to the hold at the aircraft door. Pack medicines, documents and chargers in a small bag you keep at your seat. Power banks must stay in the cabin, never in checked bags. Allowances can change by fare type, so check the line printed on your ticket.
Peak dates: gurpurab, Diwali and the wedding season
Demand from Bangalore to Nanded is shaped by pilgrimage and by the large Marathwada workforce in Bangalore's IT and construction sectors. Seats sell fastest around:
- Guru Nanak Jayanti in November and the Hola Mohalla celebrations at Hazur Sahib in March;
- Diwali, when people head home to Nanded, Latur and Parbhani;
- the winter wedding season from November to February;
- long weekends and the April–May school holidays.
With one flight a day and 50–76 seats, a busy date can sell out entirely rather than simply get pricier. If you are travelling for a festival, fix your plans early and compare fares on FlightGPT as soon as you have dates.
If the Star Air flight is full: other ways to reach Nanded
The most common one-stop route is via Hyderabad, about 250 km from Nanded: fly Bangalore to Hyderabad on any of the many daily flights, then take the road or a train for the last leg. Star Air also links Nanded with Hyderabad and Mumbai on some days, which can make a two-flight itinerary possible on its own network. The train is the other serious option; several services connect Bengaluru with Nanded, typically overnight, via Secunderabad or Guntakal. For a party of four with heavy bags, a train plus a single short flight may work out simpler than two flights. Whatever you choose, leave at least two to three hours between separately booked tickets, because a delayed first leg will not be protected.
