Bilaspur to Jagdalpur flights — quick facts

One flight a week south to Bastar: how the schedule works

Bilaspur to Jagdalpur is served by a single Alliance Air flight, 9I613, which in Oct 2026 was on sale on Wednesdays. It forms part of a longer turboprop rotation that links Bilaspur with other regional airports, which is why it runs on so few days. Alliance Air has changed this rotation several times since the route opened under the UDAN scheme, so the operating day can move between schedule seasons. Before you lock in hotel bookings in Bastar, search Bilaspur to Jagdalpur on FlightGPT for your week and confirm the flight is actually on sale. FlightGPT compares fares and sends you to the airline or a travel partner to complete the booking.

Leaving from Bilasa Devi Kevat Airport

Bilaspur's airport at Chakarbhatha is about 10 km from the city centre, a 20–30 minute drive from the railway station area. It is a small terminal that only comes alive around its few daily flights, so there is little reason to arrive very early; about an hour before departure is usually enough. Arrange a taxi in advance for the ride out, since auto-rickshaws rarely wait for passengers on this side of town. Keep your photo ID and booking handy at the entrance. If you are coming from Korba, Janjgir or Mungeli, Bilaspur's airport often saves the longer drive down to Raipur.

Bastar for first-timers: why fly to Jagdalpur

Jagdalpur is the main town of Bastar, a forested tribal region with some of central India's best natural sights. Most visitors come for:

Three or four days covers the highlights comfortably. Check local advisories for remote interior areas before planning travel off the main roads.

Getting from Maa Danteswari Airport into Jagdalpur

Maa Danteswari Airport is close to Jagdalpur town, so the ride to the main market, Danteshwari temple or the bus stand normally takes 10–15 minutes. There is no large taxi rank, so ask your hotel to send a car or pre-book one through a local operator; this also makes sense if you plan to go straight to Chitrakote, which is better reached by private car than by bus. Mobile data coverage is good in town but patchier near the waterfalls and in Kanger Valley, so download maps and save your driver's number before leaving the airport.

Best months for the Bilaspur–Jagdalpur trip

The weather in Bastar decides when this flight is busiest. September to February is the popular season: the falls are full after the rains, the forest is green and days are pleasant. Bastar Dussehra, a festival of around 75 days that culminates in October, brings large crowds and a lot of official travel, and that one weekly seat map can fill quickly. March to June is hot and the waterfalls shrink. The July–August monsoon makes the falls dramatic but brings cloud and rain that can delay turboprop flights. If you want a specific date in October or over the winter holidays, search well ahead.

What Alliance Air allows in your bag on the ATR

On Alliance Air domestic economy fares the usual checked allowance is 15 kg. The ATR 72's overhead lockers are much smaller than on an Airbus or Boeing jet, so cabin baggage is tightly limited; check the exact kilograms on your e-ticket and pack a soft bag rather than a hard trolley. Bulky cabin bags are often tagged at the steps and handed back on arrival. Camera gear for Chitrakote and Kanger Valley is best carried in a padded soft case under the seat. Excess baggage is charged per kilogram at the counter and may be refused if the flight is weight-restricted.

Missed the weekly flight? Routes via Raipur

If Wednesday does not work, the practical alternative is to travel from Bilaspur to Raipur by road or train (about 120 km, two to three hours) and take Alliance Air's Raipur–Jagdalpur flight, which runs on more days of the week and takes about 55 minutes. The road from Raipur to Jagdalpur via Kanker and Kondagaon is around 290 km and takes six to seven hours, with good scenery through the Keshkal ghat.
