IndiGo operates the only non-stop, flight 6E 7454, from Dabolim on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. In the winter schedule from 27 Oct, 2026, published timings show departure from Goa at about 14:05 and arrival at about 16:00. During summer 2026 it left at about 12:55 and took around 2 hours 15 minutes. The aircraft starts its day in Coimbatore and stops at Goa, so some passengers stay on board. IndiGo first linked Aurangabad with Goa's Mopa airport in July 2024; that Mopa service has ended, and the current flight uses Dabolim. Check the airport code and day on FlightGPT before planning.
Most visitors on this route are heading to the UNESCO-listed caves. Ellora is about 30 km from the city and Ajanta about 100 km, so plan a full day for each. Note the closing days: Ellora is shut on Tuesdays and Ajanta on Mondays. A Tuesday arrival works well for Ellora on Wednesday and Ajanta on Thursday. Closer to town, Bibi ka Maqbara, the Panchakki water mill and the Aurangabad Caves can fill an afternoon, and Daulatabad Fort sits on the way to Ellora. Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga temple is right next to the Ellora caves, which is why many pilgrims use this flight too.
The airport is about 5.5 km east of the city centre and around 11 km from the railway station, so a taxi into town takes just 15–25 minutes. It has one passenger terminal with two aerobridges, though the ATR may park on a remote stand. The city and airport are now officially named Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, but airline systems and many booking sites still show 'Aurangabad' and the IXU code. Hotels along Jalna Road and in the CIDCO area are closest to the airport. Hire a car with driver for the cave trips rather than relying on app cabs, which are scarce for long rural runs.
Dabolim Airport is in South Goa near Vasco da Gama, about 30 km from Panaji and 40–45 km from the Calangute–Baga belt. From North Goa, plan for at least an hour on the road plus time for check-in, especially in December and January. Manohar International Airport at Mopa does not have an Aurangabad flight any longer, so do not head there by mistake. An afternoon departure gives you a relaxed final morning at the beach, but traffic near the Zuari bridge and Cortalim can slow you on Saturdays when weekend visitors arrive.
IndiGo's standard domestic economy fare includes 15 kg of check-in baggage and a 7 kg cabin bag plus a personal item. On the ATR 72, overhead bins are shallow, so a standard trolley may be tagged at the aircraft steps and delivered back to you on arrival. Keep valuables and medication in a small shoulder bag. Comfortable walking shoes matter more than beachwear on this trip: Ellora involves a lot of walking on rock, and Ajanta has steps up to the caves. A torch app helps in the darker Ajanta caves, where flash photography is not allowed.
October to March is the most comfortable time: Aurangabad's days are mild and Goa is in peak beach season, so demand on this small route is highest around Diwali, Christmas and New Year. The Ellora Ajanta festival, usually held in the winter months, also draws visitors. April and May are very hot in Aurangabad, often close to 40°C. The monsoon, July to September, turns the Ajanta gorge green and brings waterfalls, though Goa is wet and quiet then. With only three flights a week on a 70-odd-seat aircraft, check FlightGPT well ahead for festival weeks.
Beyond cave tourists, the route serves two steady groups. Pilgrims combine Goa with the Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga next to Ellora and with Shirdi, roughly 110 km from the city by road, making Aurangabad a practical airport for both. Students and families also travel between Marathwada and Goa, where many from the region work in hospitality, pharma and mining. Demand from these groups is steadier through the year than tourist demand, which helps keep the three weekly flights running even in the monsoon. If you are visiting Shirdi, note that Shirdi has its own airport too, so compare both options on FlightGPT before choosing.
On Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays there is no non-stop. IndiGo connects Aurangabad with Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Delhi, and Air India and Air India Express also serve Delhi. A single-ticket routing via Mumbai or Hyderabad is the common choice. Some travellers fly Goa to Nashik on IndiGo's Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday flight and drive about 190 km to Aurangabad, which takes four hours or so. For the reverse trip, read our Aurangabad to Goa guide.
Yes. IndiGo flies non-stop from Goa's Dabolim Airport (GOI) to Aurangabad's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport (IXU) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, using an ATR 72 turboprop. Confirm the schedule for your date on FlightGPT.
IndiGo's Goa to Aurangabad non-stop is scheduled at about 1 hour 55 minutes from 27 Oct, 2026, and was about 2 hours 15 minutes in the summer 2026 schedule. The route covers around 525 km.
The current IndiGo Goa to Aurangabad non-stop leaves from Dabolim Airport (GOI). IndiGo's earlier service from Manohar International Airport at Mopa (GOX), launched in July 2024, is no longer operating.
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport, still coded IXU and often listed as Aurangabad, is about 5.5 km east of the city centre and roughly 11 km from the railway station, a 15–25 minute taxi ride.
From Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), Ellora Caves are about 30 km away and Ajanta Caves about 100 km. Ellora is closed on Tuesdays and Ajanta on Mondays, so plan your visits around those days.
IndiGo's domestic economy fare from Goa to Aurangabad includes 15 kg of check-in baggage and a 7 kg cabin bag. On the ATR 72, larger cabin bags may be tagged at the aircraft steps and placed in the hold.
