Kandla to Delhi flights — quick facts

Kandla's only flight north: SG 2953 at a glance

SpiceJet is the sole airline at Kandla Airport, and SG 2953 to Delhi is its northbound link. When the route restarted on 26 Oct, 2025, the flight was timed at about 10:25 from Kandla with arrival in Delhi around 12:25, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Oct 2026 listings still show roughly five flights a week. SpiceJet withdrew its Kandla–Mumbai flight in mid-2026 while cutting back in Gujarat, and Kandla's passenger numbers fell by more than a third in 2025–26, so treat the schedule as something to confirm each time. Search your date on FlightGPT to check the flight is listed, then book with SpiceJet or a travel partner.

Morning routine: leaving Gandhidham for the airport

The airport is a short drive from Gandhidham and Adipur — about 7.5 km, or 15–20 minutes — so most travellers leave their hotel by 08:30–08:45 for the 10:25 departure. From the port area at Kandla allow 30–40 minutes, from Mundra about an hour and 15 minutes, and from Bhuj around an hour. The terminal is small, with few counters and limited food, so eat before you leave. Book a taxi the evening before; auto-rickshaws are available in Gandhidham but are less comfortable with luggage. Security and boarding are quick on a single-flight morning, yet SpiceJet closes bag drop 45 minutes before departure.

On board the Q400: comfort and timing

The Bombardier Q400 seats about 78 passengers in a 2–2 layout. Because it is a turboprop, the 927 km trip to Delhi takes around 2 hours, roughly 20–30 minutes longer than a jet would. The northbound flight often runs a little quicker than the southbound one thanks to winds. The cabin is quieter than older turboprops, but the overhead bins are slim, so a full-size trolley may be gate-checked. Light snacks are sold on board; on a late-morning flight most people simply carry water. Pick a seat away from the propeller line, around rows 1–3 or towards the back, if you want the quietest ride.

SpiceJet baggage limits from Kandla

Standard SpiceJet economy fares include 15 kg of checked baggage and a 7 kg cabin bag, though some saver fares can differ. Business travellers returning from the port with document files, samples or salt and mineral test kits should keep the weight in mind; excess baggage is cheaper when prepaid on the SpiceJet website than at Kandla's counter. Liquids in the cabin are limited to 100 ml per container. Kutchi handicrafts such as embroidered textiles, Ajrakh prints and bandhani pack easily; buy them in Bhuj or Gandhidham and place fragile items like copper bells or pottery in checked baggage with padding.

Arriving at Delhi: getting into the city or connecting onwards

A lunchtime arrival in Delhi suits both city meetings and onward flights. Check your boarding pass for the arrival terminal, since SpiceJet has used more than one terminal at Delhi. The Airport Express metro line from T3 reaches New Delhi station in about 20 minutes; the Magenta Line serves T1. A cab to Connaught Place typically takes 35–60 minutes in early-afternoon traffic, and to Gurugram's Cyber City 30–45 minutes. If you are flying on to North India, Delhi has plenty of afternoon departures to Srinagar, Amritsar, Lucknow and the Himalayan airports. On separate tickets, leave at least three hours and allow for a terminal change.

Port, SEZ and salt: why Kandla needs a Delhi link

Kutch is one of India's fastest-growing industrial districts. Deendayal Port at Kandla handles huge volumes of oil, fertiliser and bulk cargo, the Kandla SEZ hosts exporters, and Gandhidham is a centre for timber, salt and logistics companies. Their links to ministries, shipping regulators and head offices in Delhi and NCR mean a regular flow of officials and executives. The flight also suits Kutchi families living in Delhi and Punjab who travel home for weddings and festivals. Without it, the choice is a long drive to Ahmedabad for a flight, or a train that takes most of a day.

Dates when Kandla–Delhi seats run short

With one 78-seat aircraft on about five days a week, a handful of busy periods can fill the flight:

Compare dates on FlightGPT a few weeks out, and have a fallback via Ahmedabad if your date is fixed.

Fallback options if the Kandla flight is cancelled

Because there is only one airline and one flight, a cancellation means planning B quickly. The most common option is a taxi to Ahmedabad (about 300 km, 5–6 hours) for one of its many daily flights to Delhi on IndiGo, Air India and Akasa Air. Bhuj airport, about an hour away, has a handful of flights and is worth checking. Trains from Gandhidham to Delhi run daily and take roughly a full day. Keep SpiceJet's refund and rebooking rules handy: if the airline cancels, you are entitled to a refund or an alternative flight. For the outbound leg, see the Delhi to Kandla page.
