Flying out of Daman's new NAMO terminal
Daman's airfield has existed since the 1950s, but scheduled passenger flights only returned with the new terminal opened on 5 Jun, 2026 and the first Alliance Air departure to Delhi on 16 Jul, 2026. It is a shared site: the Indian Coast Guard runs its air station here, flying maritime patrol and rescue missions along the north-west coast, so you may see Coast Guard aircraft on the apron. The terminal is new and small, check-in is quick and security queues are short. Because both the terminal and the route are new, procedures may still be settling; arrive early, keep your ID handy and follow staff instructions.
Days and timings for the Daman–Delhi service
At launch, Alliance Air flew the route twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, in the morning. It is the only airline flying Daman to Delhi. New regional routes often see their days adjusted after the first few months, so check the current schedule rather than relying on the launch timetable. Alliance Air also connects Daman with Ahmedabad and Mumbai, which can help if you need a different day. Search and compare available dates on FlightGPT and match them with your meetings in Delhi, especially if you need to be in the capital on a fixed day for a tender, hearing or onward flight abroad.
Reaching the airport from Vapi, Silvassa or Daman town
The airport is a short drive from hotels in Nani Daman and Moti Daman. From Vapi's industrial estates the drive is about 12 km, usually 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic at the Gujarat border checkpoints. From Silvassa allow roughly an hour for the 30 km run. There is no public transport to the terminal designed for flyers, so book a taxi or use your company car, and plan for slower roads during monsoon downpours. Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure; with only one flight to Delhi on operating days, missing it means waiting for the next scheduled day.
What to expect when you land at Delhi IGI
Alliance Air flights at Delhi IGI have used Terminal 3; check your booking for the current terminal. Turboprops often park at a remote stand, so allow time for the bus to the terminal and for baggage. From T3, the Airport Express metro reaches New Delhi station in about 20 minutes, and the Aerocity hotel district is one stop away. If you are connecting to an international flight, T3 also handles international departures, but your Alliance Air ticket is likely a separate booking, so collect bags and check in again. Give yourself at least four hours between landing and an international departure.
Why the route matters for Daman's industry
Daman and neighbouring Vapi and Silvassa are dense with pharma, plastics, textiles and chemicals units, many owned or managed by people based in Delhi and north India. Before July 2026, a day-trip from Delhi was impossible: a train to Vapi took around 15 hours, and flying via Surat or Mumbai added a long road leg. The direct flight lets an owner or auditor reach the plant in a morning. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has also talked about extending the runway so that narrowbody jets could land, which would allow bigger airlines in future, but no such plan has a confirmed date.
Baggage and cabin tips for a three-hour turboprop
Alliance Air economy fares have typically included around 15 kg of checked baggage; check your fare rules, as limits differ by fare type. Three hours is a long time in a small cabin, so keep water, snacks, medicines and a light jacket in your cabin bag. The overhead bins are shallow, and larger cabin bags may be loaded into the hold at the aircraft steps. Daman is known for its seafood and dry fish, but strong-smelling food in checked bags can cause problems; pack it in sealed, leak-proof containers or skip it. Excess baggage costs less online than at the counter.
Busy dates and weather on the Daman–Delhi run
Demand from Daman to Delhi rises after Diwali and Christmas–New Year, when holidaymakers return north from Daman's beaches, and around the March financial year-end when business travel peaks. Wedding season from November to February keeps flights busy too. From June to September, the monsoon brings heavy rain to the Gujarat coast, and weather diversions are possible; build slack into any onward plans in Delhi. With two weekly departures at launch, a full flight can delay your return by days, so compare the available dates early on FlightGPT and keep a backup plan via Surat or Mumbai in mind.
Fallback options via Surat, Mumbai or the train
If the Daman flight is not running on your day, drive to Surat (STV), about 110 km north, or Mumbai (BOM), about 170 km south, both with many daily jet flights to Delhi. Allow two to four hours by road, more during the monsoon. Vapi station is on the main western rail line with Rajdhani and express trains to Delhi, an overnight journey. Flying in the other direction later? Our Delhi to Daman guide covers the outbound flight, the airport and the best months for a beach trip. If you use Surat or Mumbai, remember those are separate bookings, so a delayed car can cost you the flight.
