IndiGo's ATR link between Diu and Navi Mumbai
IndiGo flies Diu (DIU) to Navi Mumbai (NMI) using its ATR 72 turboprops. The Economic Times reported on 24 Feb, 2026 that IndiGo was adding six new routes from Navi Mumbai through ATR operations, and Diu was among the regional airports brought into the network. The airport's own destination list also shows IndiGo flights from Diu to Ahmedabad and Surat. Expect around one flight a day, but verify your date, since small regional routes can run on fewer days in quieter months. On FlightGPT you can compare this flight with Alliance Air's Diu–Mumbai (BOM) service and choose the one whose arrival airport suits your destination in the Mumbai region.
Diu Airport: a tiny terminal by Nagoa beach
Diu Airport sits on the island near Nagoa, a few kilometres west of Diu town, and is one of the smallest commercial airports on the west coast. The terminal handles only a few flights a day, so check-in and security are quick, but counters may not open until a couple of hours before departure. Auto-rickshaws and local taxis cover the short ride from hotels in Diu town, Nagoa and Ghoghla. Travellers from the mainland side, including Una and Kodinar in Gujarat, cross the bridge onto the island. If you are coming from Somnath, which is roughly 90 km away, leave at least two hours for the road leg.
What flying a turboprop means on this short hop
The ATR 72 cruises lower and slower than a jet, so the 294 km trip takes around an hour rather than the 45 minutes a jet might manage. Cabin space is tighter, with overhead bins that will not take a full-size trolley bag. IndiGo's standard domestic economy allowance is 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag, but on ATR flights a larger cabin bag may be taken at the aircraft door and placed in the hold, so keep medicines and valuables in a small personal bag. The aircraft usually boards by stairs, sometimes from both ends, so allow extra time with children or elderly passengers.
Who uses the Diu–Navi Mumbai flight?
Diu has long-standing family links with Mumbai, and many households in the Diu and Una area have relatives working across the Mumbai region. Business travellers in fisheries, trading and hospitality also commute between the two. Returning holidaymakers form the other big group: Diu's beaches, Portuguese-era fort and relaxed liquor laws make it a popular short break from Mumbai, and the flight turns a long overnight road or rail journey into an hour in the air. Travellers who combine Diu with Somnath or Gir National Park often fly back to Mumbai from Diu after a three- or four-day loop through Saurashtra by road.
When fares climb out of Diu
Diu's tourist season runs from October to March, with the sharpest peaks around Diwali, the Christmas–New Year week and long weekends, when Mumbai holidaymakers fill the few flights in both directions. Return flights to Navi Mumbai on the Sunday or Monday after a long weekend are often the first to sell out. The monsoon, from June to September, is the quietest period, although rough seas and heavy rain can occasionally disrupt flights. Summer school holidays in April–May bring families travelling to visit relatives. With roughly one flight a day on a 70-seat aircraft, seats rather than fares are usually the constraint, so book early for festival dates.
- Peak: Diwali, late December, long weekends
- Quiet: June–September
Landing at NMI and heading into the Mumbai region
Your flight arrives at Navi Mumbai International Airport in Ulwe, which opened on 25 Dec, 2025 and is about 35 km from the older BOM airport. All flights currently use a single first-phase terminal, so the walk from the aircraft to the exit is short. Rail and metro links are still under construction, so arrange an app cab, taxi or private pick-up. Panvel, Kharghar, Belapur and Nerul are the quickest drives. For South Mumbai, the Atal Setu sea bridge gives a direct crossing from near Ulwe to Sewri. If your final stop is in Borivali, Malad or Andheri, compare Alliance Air's BOM flight, since the drive from Ulwe can be long.
Tips for flying out of Diu
Diu is a Union Territory, and it has its own rules on alcohol; you cannot carry liquor bought there onto a domestic flight in hand baggage, and Gujarat, which surrounds Diu by road, is a dry state. Carry a valid photo ID such as Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence. Because the airport is small, there are few food options, so eat beforehand. Weather on the coast can change quickly in the monsoon, so watch for SMS updates from IndiGo. For the outbound trip from Mumbai, the Navi Mumbai to Diu guide covers things to do on arrival and transfers to Somnath and Gir.
