A new airport, two airlines: the HYD–RQY line-up
Shivamogga Airport at Sogane was inaugurated in February 2023 and began scheduled flights that August, so the Hyderabad link is still young. Two carriers fly it non-stop. Star Air, the regional airline backed by the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, uses its Embraer jets on most of its network. SpiceJet operates the route too, typically with Q400 turboprops on regional sectors of this length.
Flight-data listings in 2026 showed a couple of dozen weekly flights between the two cities across both airlines, but the split and timings change by season. Search your date on FlightGPT to see which airline is flying, compare both side by side, and then book directly with the airline or a travel partner.
Hyderabad departures: getting to Shamshabad on time
RGIA is on the southern fringe of Hyderabad. From Hitec City or Kondapur, allow 50–70 minutes by cab via the Outer Ring Road; from Secunderabad or Begumpet, plan for an hour or more at peak times. TGSRTC's Pushpak air-conditioned buses run from several points in the city if you prefer not to take a cab.
- All domestic airlines, including Star Air and SpiceJet, use the integrated terminal.
- Regional aircraft frequently board by bus from remote stands.
- Reach the airport 90 minutes before departure for domestic flights.
SpiceJet and Star Air have separate check-in counters inside the terminal; the screens near the entry gates list the row numbers. Web check-in is offered by both airlines.
Is 1 hour 30 minutes realistic on this flight?
The great-circle distance is 482 km, which a jet would cover in a little over an hour of air time. Scheduled block times of about 1 hour 30 minutes include taxiing at busy Hyderabad and the slower climb and cruise of a turboprop, where SpiceJet uses one. Star Air's Embraer jets can arrive a few minutes ahead of schedule on a calm day.
The route crosses north Karnataka's dry plains before descending towards the green Malnad hills. Between June and September, Shivamogga sits in the heavy south-west monsoon belt; low cloud can cause delays and, rarely, a diversion. On monsoon trips, keep a buffer in your plans for the onward road journey to Jog Falls, Sringeri or Agumbe.
Shivamogga Airport to the city and the Malnad
The airport at Sogane is roughly 8–10 km from Shivamogga city centre, around 20 minutes by taxi or auto. The terminal is modern and small, so getting from the aircraft to the kerb is quick.
Most visitors are heading somewhere beyond the city. Approximate road distances from Shivamogga:
- Jog Falls: about 100 km, 2.5 hours
- Sringeri Sharada Peetham: about 100 km via Agumbe
- Kollur Mookambika: roughly 130 km
- Sakrebailu elephant camp: about 14 km on the Thirthahalli road
- Bhadravathi: about 20 km
Hire a car with a driver for the ghat roads; public buses run, but they are slow and connections are tight after dark.
Star Air vs SpiceJet baggage rules for Shivamogga
SpiceJet's standard domestic economy allowance is 15 kg of check-in baggage plus one cabin bag of up to 7 kg. Star Air's economy fares generally include a check-in bag and a 7 kg cabin allowance as well, but the check-in weight depends on the fare family you buy, so read the fare rules before paying.
Both aircraft types have smaller overhead bins than an A320. On the Q400 especially, large wheeled cabin bags are often tagged at the stairs and returned planeside or at the belt. Keep medicines and electronics in a small personal bag, and remember that power banks are not allowed in checked baggage on either airline.
Monsoon waterfalls and Dasara: when demand peaks
Shivamogga's travel calendar is unusual. The heaviest leisure demand comes in the monsoon, from July to September, when Jog Falls is at full flow and the Western Ghats are at their greenest. Expect weekends in August to be busy, along with Independence Day and Ganesh Chaturthi long weekends.
Shivamogga also celebrates Dasara in October with its own procession, and Diwali brings families home from Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Winter (November–February) is pleasant for trekking at Kodachadri and Kudremukh. Since only two airlines serve the route with small aircraft, fixed-date travellers should search well ahead around these weeks and compare the days either side.
Alternatives when Shivamogga flights are full
If neither Star Air nor SpiceJet has seats on your day, the nearest alternatives are Hubballi (HBX), about 170 km north of Shivamogga, and Mangaluru (IXE), around 190 km away over the ghats. Both have Hyderabad connections. Bengaluru is about 300 km away by road, a 6-hour drive, but offers the widest choice of flights. Hubballi is the most practical backup for Sagar, Sirsi and Jog Falls, while Mangaluru suits travellers heading to Sringeri, Kollur or the coast near Udupi. Long-distance KSRTC and private sleeper buses also run between Hyderabad and Shivamogga overnight, taking roughly 11–12 hours.
