IndiGo is the only airline flying from Delhi to Pantnagar, with around two non-stops a day. Recent listings show the first departure, 6E 7324, leaving Delhi at about 07:10, with the other flight leaving later in the morning, around 10:20. Both use ATR turboprops, as Pantnagar's runway is too short for jets. Timings can change with IndiGo's seasonal schedule, so confirm yours before you plan a hill drive. The morning-only pattern is handy: you land early enough to reach Nainital or Bhimtal for lunch. Search and compare both flights on FlightGPT for your date. If you miss the first flight, the later one the same morning is your best same-day fallback.
Pantnagar Airport is run by the Airports Authority of India in Udham Singh Nagar district. Its runway is 1,372 metres long, extended in 2008 to take larger turboprops, and there are long-standing plans to lengthen it further. The terminal is small, so arrivals are quick, but there is little to do airside. The airport sits midway between Rudrapur and Haldwani, about 26 km from Haldwani, next to G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, India's first agricultural university. Traffic fell in the April 2025 to March 2026 year, so expect a quiet terminal on most days. Taxis wait for arriving flights, but booking ahead is safer on weekends.
Most passengers are heading up into the hills. Nainital is about 65 km by road, usually two to two and a half hours via Haldwani and Kathgodam, with the final climb on winding roads. Bhimtal is about 50 km, and the lake district around Sattal and Naukuchiatal is close by. The Jim Corbett National Park gateway at Ramnagar is about 120 km, roughly three hours. Book a taxi in advance: hill drivers know the roads, and outstation cabs are better suited than city app cabs. In peak season, Nainital limits vehicle entry at times, so ask your hotel about parking.
Not everyone is a tourist. The airport also serves the SIDCUL industrial estates at Pantnagar and Rudrapur, home to car, two-wheeler and component plants, and the university campus right next door. Engineers, auditors and suppliers from Delhi and the NCR use the morning flights for day trips, though a same-day return depends on that day's schedule, so check before planning one. Rudrapur is a short drive from the airport, far quicker than the five to six hours by road from Delhi through Moradabad. For return timings, see our Pantnagar to Delhi guide. Many visitors also stay on for a weekend in the hills after work.
IndiGo operates domestic flights from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Delhi IGI, and the regional ATR flights can be from either, so read your boarding pass carefully. Terminal 1 has its own station on the Magenta Line metro; Terminal 2 is next to Terminal 3 and reached via the Airport Express line and a short walk. ATR flights often board by bus from remote stands, so be at the gate early. For the 07:10 departure, aim to reach the airport by about 05:15. In December and January, Delhi's fog can delay these early flights, so allow buffer time for onward drives into the hills.
On standard domestic economy fares, IndiGo allows 15 kg of check-in baggage and 7 kg of cabin baggage, with one cabin bag. On the ATR, overhead bins are small, so a larger cabin bag may be tagged at the steps and loaded into the hold. Pack a warm layer in your cabin bag from October to March: Pantnagar is warm, but Nainital evenings get cold quickly. If you are carrying trekking gear or camera equipment, check whether it fits the cabin limit, and pay for excess baggage online beforehand, as it is cheaper than at the airport counter. Trekking poles are not allowed in the cabin, so pack them in checked baggage.
Flights fill fastest during Delhi's summer school holidays from May to June, when families head to Nainital and the lakes, and around Christmas, New Year and long weekends. Corbett's main safari season runs roughly from mid-November to June, adding more demand. In July and August, monsoon rains can cause landslides on hill roads, so plan flexible days. Winter fog in December and January can delay morning flights at Delhi and Pantnagar. With only about two flights a day on one airline, the best dates go early, so compare fares on FlightGPT well ahead. Book the return at the same time, as Sunday flights back to Delhi fill first.
If flights are full, the Kathgodam Shatabdi and other trains run from Delhi to Kathgodam, the railhead for Nainital, in about six to seven hours. Overnight trains from Delhi are popular with families as they save a hotel night. By road, Delhi to Haldwani or Rudrapur takes roughly five to six hours via the Delhi–Moradabad highway, longer on holiday weekends. Volvo buses also run overnight. The flight is fastest from south and west Delhi, but train travel from Old Delhi or Anand Vihar can be just as practical for East Delhi and Noida residents. Book train seats early in May and June, when Kathgodam trains run full.
Yes. IndiGo flies non-stop from Delhi (DEL) to Pantnagar (PGH) about twice a day using ATR turboprops. Recent listings show the first flight, 6E 7324, departing Delhi at around 07:10. Confirm timings for your date.
The Delhi to Pantnagar flight takes about 50 minutes for the 236 km trip. By road, the same journey via Moradabad typically takes five to six hours, depending on highway traffic.
Pantnagar Airport (PGH) is the nearest airport to Nainital, about 65 km by road, or roughly two to two and a half hours via Haldwani and Kathgodam. IndiGo flies to Pantnagar from Delhi about twice a day.
Only IndiGo flies Delhi to Pantnagar, with about two daily ATR flights. Pantnagar's 1,372-metre runway cannot handle A320 jets, so Air India and Akasa Air do not serve the airport.
The Jim Corbett National Park gateway at Ramnagar is about 120 km from Pantnagar Airport, roughly three hours by road. Many Corbett resorts arrange pickups from Pantnagar if you book in advance.
It depends on where you live. The Kathgodam Shatabdi reaches Kathgodam in about six to seven hours, near Nainital. IndiGo's Pantnagar flight takes 50 minutes, but you still need about two hours by road to Nainital.
