IndiGo and Alliance Air: two ways to fly Bikaner–Delhi
Bikaner has two airlines, and both fly to Delhi. IndiGo launched daily Bikaner–Delhi flights on 7 Feb, 2025, making Bikaner its 90th domestic destination; its regional flights here carry 6E 7xxx numbers, which IndiGo uses for its ATR 72 fleet. Alliance Air resumed Delhi–Bikaner flights in October 2023, also with ATRs. Together they offer up to two non-stops a day, though Alliance Air may not fly every day. The extra service has driven a sharp rise in traffic: the airport handled about 46,900 passengers in the year to March 2026, more than three times the previous year.
Getting to Nal airport from the old city
Bikaner Airport is at Nal, about 13 km west of the city, roughly 25 minutes by car. It is a civil terminal at an Indian Air Force station, so entry needs a ticket and photo ID, and photography is prohibited. The terminal is small, with few shops. Autos and cabs are available in town; arrange a pickup for early departures. Aim to arrive 75–90 minutes before your flight. If you are staying near Junagarh Fort or the old walled city, add time for narrow streets and traffic near the railway station.
Flight time and the view over the Thar
The flight covers about 386 km and takes around 1 hour 20 minutes gate to gate on an ATR. The aircraft heads north-east over the edge of the Thar Desert and the farmland of Haryana before descending into Delhi. On a clear day, the right-hand windows on departure show the sand dunes and khejri trees around Bikaner. In summer the desert heat can cause some turbulence at lower altitudes, and in winter the arrival into Delhi may be held because of fog.
Bikaner's business and family links with Delhi
Bikaner is famous for its bhujia and sweets industry, wool trade and the gypsum and clay mining of the region, and many of its trading families have offices or relatives in Delhi. The city also has a large Army and Air Force presence, Bikaner's medical and engineering colleges, and the renewable energy projects that have expanded across western Rajasthan. Before the IndiGo service started, most people took overnight trains to Delhi, which still remain popular. The flight now lets business travellers do a same-day trip: leave Bikaner in the morning, attend meetings in Delhi and, on days when the timings line up, return the same evening. Check both airlines' times before planning a day trip, because with only two flights the return window can be narrow.
Arriving at Delhi: which terminal?
At Delhi IGI, IndiGo operates from Terminals 1 and 2, and Alliance Air has typically used Terminal 3. Your boarding pass shows the terminal; check it before arranging a pickup, since the terminals are some distance apart with no airside link.
- T1: Magenta Line metro has its own station
- T2 and T3: Airport Express Metro (Orange Line) serves T3, with T2 next door
- Connaught Place is about 16 km by road
Allow extra time in the evening when Delhi traffic is heaviest.
Baggage on IndiGo and Alliance Air from Bikaner
IndiGo domestic economy fares include 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin baggage (one piece). Alliance Air economy fares typically include 15 kg checked baggage and one cabin bag. On the ATR, overhead bins are small, so larger trolleys may be tagged at the aircraft door. Bikaneri bhujia and sweets are popular gifts: pack them sealed in checked luggage, as cabin space is tight. Ghee and liquids over 100 ml must go in the hold. Power banks stay in the cabin.
Camel Festival, winter tourism and summer heat
The Bikaner Camel Festival, held every January, draws domestic and foreign visitors, and seats on the Delhi flights tighten around it. October to March is the main tourist season, with Diwali, Christmas and the New Year also busy. Summer from April to June is extremely hot, often above 45°C, which reduces leisure travel but not business trips. Delhi fog from mid-December to January can delay or cancel turboprop flights, so keep connections loose in that period. If you have an onward flight from Delhi on a separate ticket, leave at least three to four hours in winter.
If both Bikaner flights are full
When neither IndiGo nor Alliance Air has seats, the main backups are overnight trains from Bikaner to Delhi, which take around 8–10 hours, or a drive of about 7–8 hours. Jodhpur Airport, around 4 hours away by road, has more flights to Delhi on several airlines.
