Kannur to Navi Mumbai flights — quick facts

IndiGo is the only Kannur–Navi Mumbai non-stop

IndiGo operates the CNN–NMI flight, usually once a day. It sits in IndiGo's Kannur network alongside non-stops to Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi and Mumbai's main airport, while Air India Express serves Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram from Kannur. Navi Mumbai opened to passengers on 25 Dec, 2025 and its timetable is still being adjusted, so check that your date has a flight before planning onward travel. On FlightGPT you can search the NMI and BOM options together; it compares the fares and sends you to IndiGo or a travel partner to book.

Reaching Mattanur: the drive to Kannur airport

Kannur International Airport sits on a plateau at Mattanur, about 28 km east of Kannur town and 24 km from Thalassery. There is no rail link, so most travellers take a taxi or are dropped off by family; from Kannur town allow 45–60 minutes, more in the evening. KSRTC buses run to the airport from nearby towns, but timings are limited. Travellers from Kasaragod, Payyanur or Iritty should check road conditions in the monsoon, when heavy rain slows the ghat-side roads. The terminal is modern and rarely crowded outside Gulf-flight peaks, so 90 minutes before a domestic departure is usually enough.

What to expect when you land at Navi Mumbai

NMI is a brand-new airport at Ulwe in Raigad district, around 35 km from Mumbai's older Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. For many Malayali families settled in Vashi, Nerul, Kharghar, Panvel and Kamothe, it is far closer than BOM. Metro and rail links are planned but not yet complete, so leave by app cab, taxi or a pickup. The Atal Setu sea link puts South Mumbai within reach, and the Mumbai–Pune Expressway is close for anyone continuing to Pune. Because services at the new terminal are still being added, check the airport's official website for current taxi and bus arrangements before you fly.

Packing for Kannur–Navi Mumbai: IndiGo's allowance

IndiGo's standard domestic economy fare allows 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a small personal item. Travellers from Kannur often carry food from home: banana chips, halwa, pickles and homemade masalas. Oil-based pickles and anything liquid over 100 ml must go in the hold, sealed well. Coconut oil and ghee in large tins count towards your 15 kg. If you know you will go over, pre-book extra baggage online during booking or before web check-in; paying at the Kannur counter is usually dearer. Hand-baggage-only fares exclude check-in bags entirely.

Onam, Vishu and Theyyam season: when seats sell out

The Kannur–Navi Mumbai flight follows the rhythm of Kerala's holidays. Expect heavy demand in the days after Onam (August–September) and Vishu (mid-April) as families return to Mumbai, and around Christmas and New Year. School reopenings in early June also bring a rush northbound. The Theyyam season, roughly from October/November to May, draws visitors into Kannur, so southbound seats tighten then too. The monsoon months of June to September can bring weather delays at this hilltop airport. With one non-stop a day, search early for festival dates.

Why a Kannur traveller might pick NMI over BOM

IndiGo also flies Kannur to Mumbai's main airport, so the choice between NMI and BOM comes down to where you are going:

Compare both on FlightGPT for your date and weigh the cab ride on arrival. For the return leg, see the Navi Mumbai to Kannur guide.

If the direct flight is full

On a sold-out day, the simplest fallback is the IndiGo non-stop from Kannur to BOM, then a 1–1.5 hour cab to Navi Mumbai depending on traffic. Kozhikode (Calicut) airport, about 90 km south of Kannur, has more Mumbai options. A connection via Bengaluru or Kochi can also work, but adds two to four hours. The Konkan Railway runs from Kannur towards Panvel and Mumbai if you prefer a train, though it takes most of a day.

First time flying Kannur to NMI? A short checklist

A few things catch first-time passengers on this route. Kannur's terminal is spacious and quiet, so it is easy to arrive too relaxed; IndiGo still closes domestic check-in 45 minutes before departure. Keep your photo ID handy, as Indian airports check it at the entry gate and again at boarding. If someone is collecting you at Navi Mumbai, share the IATA code NMI rather than just saying "Mumbai airport", because drivers and relatives sometimes head to the older BOM by mistake. Save the terminal pickup point details from the airport website beforehand. Finally, mobile coverage on the Mattanur plateau is good, but download your boarding pass in case the network is slow during monsoon storms.
