Keshod to Ahmedabad flights — quick facts

The single daily Alliance Air hop to Ahmedabad

The only non-stop on this route is Alliance Air, listed as flight 9I604 in October 2026 fare listings, with a scheduled time of about 55 minutes. It is part of a rotation that links several small Gujarat airports, so the departure time from Keshod is set by where the aircraft has come from that day. On most days there is one flight; on some days there may be none. Because there is no second departure, a cancellation means a road journey or an overnight wait, so search the route on FlightGPT for your date and a day either side before you fix train or hotel plans around it.

Reaching Keshod airport from Somnath, Veraval and Junagadh

Keshod Airport sits just outside Keshod town in Junagadh district. Approximate road times to the terminal:

There is no public transport into the terminal, so book a taxi through your hotel the evening before. The terminal is small, security queues are short, and check-in typically closes 45 minutes before departure, but arrive at least 75–90 minutes early because the counter may open only once the inbound aircraft is confirmed.

What the ATR flight is like

Alliance Air uses an ATR 72 turboprop with around 70 seats in a 2-2 layout and no business cabin. The aircraft flies lower and a little slower than a jet, which is why a 312 km sector takes close to an hour. Boarding is usually by stairs from the apron. Overhead space is tight, so roller cabin bags are often tagged at the steps and returned planeside or on the belt in Ahmedabad. Standard economy fares typically include 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin baggage; confirm on your ticket. Snacks are limited, so eat before leaving for the airport if you are travelling from Gir early.

Arriving at Ahmedabad's SVPI: getting into the city

You land at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) in north-east Ahmedabad. The airport is roughly 9–10 km from the old city around Lal Darwaja and about 18–20 km from Gandhinagar. App cabs and pre-paid taxis wait outside arrivals; the trip to SG Highway, Prahlad Nagar or Bodakdev typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Ahmedabad has a two-terminal domestic setup and airline allocations have changed in recent years, so if you have an onward flight, check whether it leaves from the same terminal as your arrival. Sabarmati Ashram, the walled city heritage walks and the riverfront are all within half an hour of the airport.

Using AMD for onward flights after Keshod

Ahmedabad is Gujarat's biggest airport, with jet services to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Goa and international flights to the Gulf and beyond. Many travellers from Saurashtra use the Keshod flight as a feeder. Alliance Air and the jet carriers do not sell this as one through ticket, so treat the connection as a self-transfer: collect your bag, re-check it and clear security again. Leave at least three hours between the scheduled arrival from Keshod and an onward domestic departure, and more for an international flight, since a small delay on a single-aircraft rotation is common.

Busy dates on the Keshod–Ahmedabad sector

Peaks on this direction usually come at the end of holidays. After Diwali, after the Christmas–New Year break and at the close of the Gir season in June, families and tourists leaving Saurashtra fill the single daily flight. Mahashivratri at Somnath and the Bhavnath fair at Junagadh (February–March) create short spikes, as does the end of the Girnar Lili Parikrama in November. Business travel to Ahmedabad picks up on Monday mornings. With one aircraft of about 70 seats, these dates can sell out; search and compare on FlightGPT well ahead and keep a backup train such as the Veraval–Ahmedabad services in mind.

Rail and road backups when the flight does not operate

If the flight is cancelled or full, overnight trains from Veraval and Junagadh to Ahmedabad take roughly 8–9 hours and are the most comfortable alternative. Gujarat State Road Transport and private sleeper buses also run the route overnight. A taxi to Ahmedabad takes about 7–8 hours. A middle option is driving to Rajkot's Hirasar airport for a jet flight, but check the schedule first. The outbound direction is covered on the Ahmedabad to Keshod page.

Before you fly out of Keshod: a short checklist

Do web check-in once it opens 48 hours ahead and carry Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence. Keep fragile souvenirs such as Gir honey or Junagadh kesar mango pulp in checked baggage and declare liquids correctly. In summer, Keshod gets very hot by late morning, so carry water. Confirm your flight is operating the evening before with Alliance Air. Search and compare on FlightGPT, then book with the airline or travel partner it sends you to.
