Star Air's midday jet from Diu to North Goa
Star Air, the regional airline owned by the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, is the only carrier on this route. Its flight S5 432 leaves Diu around midday, with Star Air's published schedule showing departures at about 12:10 or 13:10 depending on the period, and arrival at Mopa about 1 hour 30 to 40 minutes later. It runs on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The aircraft is an Embraer E175, a 76-seat regional jet, so the ride is quicker and smoother than a turboprop. Star Air also flies Diu–Ahmedabad on the same aircraft rotation. Confirm the time for your date on FlightGPT, since Star Air shifts timings between schedule periods.
Diu Airport and getting there from town
Diu Airport sits on the western side of the island near Nagoa, a few kilometres from Diu town and the fort. Most hotels are within a 10–20 minute drive, and auto-rickshaws and hotel cars are the usual ways to reach it. The terminal is tiny, with only a handful of flights a day, so check-in and security are quick, but counters open on a fixed schedule, so do not arrive too early or too late; 90 minutes before departure is about right. Travellers coming from Somnath (about 85 km) or the Gir side should allow two to three hours by road.
What Diu travellers should know about Mopa
This flight lands at Mopa in Goa's far north, in Pernem taluka, not at Dabolim in South Goa. Mopa is about 20–25 km from Arambol and Mandrem, 30–35 km from Calangute, Baga and Anjuna, and roughly 35–40 km from Panaji. If you are staying in South Goa, around Colva, Benaulim or Palolem, budget two hours or more by taxi. Mopa has an official taxi counter and app-based cabs. An early-afternoon arrival means you can be at a North Goa beach well before sunset.
Baggage, cabins and onboard on Star Air
Star Air's E175s carry both economy and a small business cabin, which is unusual for a regional route; the business seats come with a larger baggage allowance and priority services. Economy baggage allowances depend on the fare type, so check what your ticket includes before packing. The E175 has bigger overhead bins than a turboprop, so a standard cabin trolley usually fits. Diu permits the sale of liquor, unlike neighbouring Gujarat, and Goa has its own excise rules; carry only what airline and state limits allow, and keep bottles in checked baggage.
Pairing Diu with a Goa holiday
Diu and Goa share Portuguese history, from Diu Fort and St Paul's Church to Goa's Old Goa churches and Fontainhas quarter in Panaji, so the pairing makes sense for travellers interested in that heritage. Saurashtra families also use the flight for a beach break, since Goa has far more resorts, nightlife and water sports than Diu. Business travellers from the Una and Kodinar belt use it to reach Goa and Karnataka's coastal side. If you have a few days in Diu first, Nagoa and Ghoghla beaches and the Naida caves are the highlights.
Seasons on both coasts
October to March is pleasant in both Diu and Goa, and Goa's peak from mid-December to New Year pushes demand on this route. Gujarat families travel in large numbers during the Diwali holidays and in May, when schools are shut. The monsoon, June to September, brings heavy rain to Goa and rough seas to Diu; beaches on both coasts are unsafe for swimming then, though hotel rates drop sharply. With a single 76-seat jet six days a week, festival and New Year dates sell out; compare dates on FlightGPT early.
Fridays and full flights: alternatives
There is no Diu–Goa flight on Fridays. The usual alternative is Star Air's flight from Diu to Ahmedabad, then one of the many Ahmedabad–Goa flights on IndiGo, Air India Express or Akasa Air. Another option is to drive roughly 250 km to Rajkot's Hirasar airport and fly to Goa from there, if the timings suit. Book connections on one ticket where possible; if you buy separately, keep a three-hour gap to absorb delays on the short Diu leg.
Diu to Goa quick checklist
- Fly any day except Friday for the non-stop.
- Check your ticket says GOX (Mopa), not GOI.
- Reach Diu Airport about 90 minutes before departure.
- Pre-book a cab at Mopa if you are heading to South Goa.
- The reverse trip is covered in our Goa to Diu guide.
