At launch on 15 May, 2026, Air India's AI482 left Halwara at 07:55 and reached Delhi at 09:10, and AI484 left at 14:40 and landed at 15:55, both daily. The morning flight suits same-day meetings in Delhi or early connections; the afternoon flight lines up well with evening international departures from Delhi. Air India is the only airline on the route. Timings may be revised in the winter schedule from late October, so check your date. Search and compare both departures on FlightGPT, then confirm the exact timing with Air India before you book onward travel or a hotel in Delhi.
The biggest change this route brings is for NRI families and students from Punjab. Before Halwara opened, most drove five to six hours to Delhi or flew from Amritsar or Chandigarh for international flights. Now Air India can sell Halwara to Delhi as the first leg of a single ticket to destinations on its network, such as Toronto, Vancouver or London, with bags checked through and protection if the first leg is late. That is safer than two separate tickets. If you do book separately, allow at least four hours at Delhi and remember the domestic baggage limit applies to the Halwara leg.
Halwara is roughly 30 to 35 km south-west of central Ludhiana, about 45 minutes to an hour by car via the Ludhiana–Raikot side. For the 07:55 departure, that means leaving home by around 05:45. There is no metro or dedicated airport bus, so plan a taxi or a family drop. The airport is a civil enclave within the Halwara Air Force Station: expect security checks at the approach and follow signs carefully. Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure, or longer if you have heavy international baggage to check in. Relatives seeing you off should know that waiting areas at a new enclave terminal are small, so goodbyes are best said at the kerb.
Air India's domestic flights at Delhi IGI have mainly used Terminal 3, which also handles Air India's international departures; confirm on your boarding pass. On a through ticket, follow the transfer signs. If you are leaving the airport, the Airport Express metro runs from T3 to New Delhi station in about 20 minutes, and app cabs and prepaid taxis wait outside arrivals. Arriving at 09:10 puts you into Delhi's morning rush; the 15:55 arrival avoids the worst of it. Note that IndiGo and Akasa operate mostly from Terminal 1, a road transfer away, if you are switching airlines, so leave at least three hours for that change.
On domestic economy fares, Air India generally allows 15 kg of check-in baggage and 7 kg of cabin baggage, though fare families differ, so read your fare details. On a single international ticket, the international allowance normally applies from Halwara, often more generous. Families flying to Canada or the UK with large suitcases should confirm that bags are checked through to the final destination at the Halwara counter. Pickles, sweets and dry fruit are common in Punjabi luggage; pack them in sealed containers in checked bags, as liquids and pastes over 100 ml are not allowed in the cabin.
The busiest period is January to March, when NRIs return abroad after the wedding season, and again in August and September, when students leave for autumn intakes in Canada, the UK and Australia. Diwali and Lohri also drive family travel. Business traffic from Ludhiana's hosiery and cycle industries runs year-round, peaking around trade fairs in Delhi. With only two flights a day on one airline, seats on peak dates sell early. Compare dates on FlightGPT, and avoid tying an international departure to a single flight without a buffer. Booking the morning departure for a night international flight gives the most room if anything slips.
Fog affects Punjab and Delhi from mid-December to January, and both the Halwara departures and Delhi arrivals can be delayed. If you have an international flight that night, take the earlier Halwara departure or travel the day before. Backup options include the Shatabdi from Ludhiana Junction, about four to five hours to New Delhi, or a drive of about 310 km on NH 44, roughly five to six hours. Chandigarh airport, about 100 km from Ludhiana, has many more flights to Delhi and is another fallback if Halwara is fog-bound. Keep Air India's contact details handy to rebook quickly.
Do not photograph military areas around the airfield. Travelling the other way later? Our Delhi to Ludhiana guide covers the early and midday departures from Delhi, Halwara arrivals and the drive into the city. Recheck your flight a day before travel, since the route is new and schedules can still be adjusted, and keep your Air India booking reference ready for any change.
