A pilgrim's air route from the NCR to Hazur Sahib
Nanded is one of the five Sikh Takhts: Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib marks the place where Guru Gobind Singh spent his final days. For Sikh families in Delhi, Ghaziabad and Noida, the Hindon–Nanded flight turns a long train journey into a two-hour hop. Star Air restarted scheduled flying at Nanded on 31 Mar, 2024, ending a gap of more than three years after Air India and TruJet left in 2020, and the Hindon link was part of that first batch. Gurpurab dates, especially the Prakash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh and the Hola Mohalla celebrations in Nanded, see the heaviest demand.
Star Air timings and how many flights run
Star Air is the only airline on this route. Flight-tracking data in 2026 showed around six non-stops a week, often as part of a longer rotation that also links Adampur (Jalandhar), Hindon, Nanded and Bengaluru, which is why Punjab passengers bound for Hazur Sahib may already be on board when you join at Hindon. The northbound flight leaves Nanded in the morning, so the southbound departure from Hindon usually falls around midday. In August and September 2025 Star Air paused Nanded flights for about 20 days after a DGCA audit flagged issues at the airport, then resumed on 10 Sep, 2025. Confirm your date on FlightGPT before planning.
Business class on a regional jet: the Embraer E175
Star Air uses the Embraer E175 on this route at launch, configured with 12 business-class seats and 64 economy seats. Business class is a real option here for elderly pilgrims who need more room, an easier boarding process and a larger baggage allowance, and the price gap to economy is sometimes smaller than on mainline airlines. Economy seats are in a 2-2 layout, so there are no middle seats. Star Air also flies the smaller ERJ-145 elsewhere in its network, so the aircraft on your date can change; check the booking if the business cabin matters.
Getting to Hindon for a midday departure
Hindon Airport is a civil terminal inside the IAF base in Ghaziabad, roughly 20 km from Connaught Place. For families in East Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and Meerut-side suburbs, it is far closer than IGI. There is no metro at the door, so take a cab, and carry a valid photo ID for the defence-area entry. The terminal is small, with eight check-in counters, so lines are short, but group bookings of ten or more pilgrims take longer to process. Reach the airport about 90 minutes early if you are travelling as a jatha.
Baggage tips for Hazur Sahib travellers
Star Air's free allowance depends on your fare and cabin, so read it on your ticket. Pilgrims often carry more than they expect, so plan for these:
- A kirpan is allowed on domestic flights for Sikh passengers within the size limit set by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security; check the current rule before you fly.
- Rumalas, langar supplies and gifts add weight fast; buy extra allowance online in advance.
- Prasad in sealed boxes is usually fine; liquids over 100 ml must go in checked bags.
- Small Embraer bins mean large cabin trolleys may be gate-checked.
From Nanded airport to the gurdwara
Nanded's airport sits on the edge of the city, and the drive to the Hazur Sahib complex usually takes well under half an hour by auto-rickshaw or taxi. Several gurdwara sarais near the Takht offer pilgrim accommodation, and they fill up around major gurpurabs, so reserve a room before you buy the ticket on those dates. The airport terminal is small, with limited food options and a short taxi line; arranging a pickup through your sarai or hotel saves bargaining. Nanded also has a busy railway station if you plan to continue elsewhere in Marathwada.
Using FlightGPT to plan a Hazur Sahib trip
Because Star Air is the only airline on this pair, the useful comparison is not between airlines but between dates, cabins and alternative routings. Search Hindon to Nanded on FlightGPT for the days around your planned darshan, and check whether a day earlier or later has a seat when a gurpurab is close. Compare the business-class fare on the E175 with economy plus paid extra baggage; for elderly passengers the difference can be worth it. If no Hindon seat suits, look at Delhi IGI to Hyderabad and then the road trip of roughly five hours to Nanded, or Delhi to Pune with an onward Star Air hop. FlightGPT shows the options together and then sends you to the airline or a travel partner to book, so you pay Star Air or the agent directly. Partner quotes can change at any time until you complete the booking.
When the Hindon to Nanded flight books out
With one aircraft a day at most, demand spikes are sharp. Expect full flights around Guru Gobind Singh's Prakash Purab (usually late December or January), Hola Mohalla (the day after Holi), Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas, and the Delhi school holidays in May and June. If Star Air is sold out, compare a Delhi–Hyderabad or Delhi–Pune flight on FlightGPT and continue by train or road. For the return leg, see Nanded to Ghaziabad (Hindon) flights.
