Mumbai to Solapur flights — quick facts

Star Air's return to the Mumbai–Solapur sector

Solapur has had an on-off history with scheduled flights. Its airport sits inside the city, and commercial operations restarted only in 2025 after years without service. Star Air resumed Mumbai–Solapur on 01 Aug, 2026, flying four days a week. Flight S5 333 leaves Mumbai at 15:50 on Mondays and Wednesdays and at 12:10 on Fridays and Sundays. Fly91 has also served Solapur from Mumbai and Goa in the past; check whether any second carrier is on sale for your date when you search on FlightGPT. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays there is no non-stop, so plan meetings and family visits around the operating days.

Is it worth flying 362 km instead of driving?

By road, Mumbai to Solapur is about 400 km via the Mumbai–Pune Expressway and the Pune–Solapur highway, which takes seven to eight hours with traffic. The Vande Bharat Express covers it in roughly six and a half hours, and overnight trains such as the Siddheshwar Express take longer. The flight itself is about 1 hour 10 minutes, so even after adding airport time at both ends you save most of a working day. For a same-week return, the Monday or Wednesday afternoon departure and the Friday or Sunday return work well. For a cheaper but slower trip, the train is the honest alternative.

What the Star Air jet experience is like

Star Air flies Embraer regional jets rather than turboprops, so the cabin is quieter and faster than an ATR, with two-by-two or two-by-one seating depending on the type. The E175 seats 76 or so in two classes on Star Air's configuration, while the ERJ-145 is a smaller 50-seater. Overhead bins on the ERJ are compact, so a full-size trolley bag may need to be tagged at the steps. Star Air typically offers a light snack on board. Seats are allocated at check-in if you have not chosen one, and with a small aircraft the front rows fill quickly on Friday afternoons.

Arriving at Solapur Airport on Hotgi Road

Solapur Airport is unusually close to town: it sits on Hotgi Road, about 5 km from the central areas around Siddheshwar Temple and Navi Peth. A taxi or auto-rickshaw gets you there in around 15 minutes. The terminal is small, with a single baggage belt and a short walk from the aircraft. There is no metro or bus link designed for flights, so plan your onward ride in advance if you are heading out of the city. Akkalkot is about 40 km south-east, Tuljapur roughly 45 km north, and Pandharpur around 70 km west, each reachable in one to two hours by car.

Baggage on Star Air between Mumbai and Solapur

Star Air sets its allowance by fare family, and it is printed on your booking. As a guide:

The ERJ's small bins are the main practical constraint, so use a soft bag. If you are carrying textiles, Solapuri chaddars or bulk sweets back to Mumbai, buy extra weight online in advance rather than at the airport.

Pilgrim seasons and holidays that fill the flight

Solapur is the gateway to some of Maharashtra's largest pilgrimages. The Ashadhi Ekadashi wari to Pandharpur in June or July brings huge crowds, and the Kartiki Ekadashi in November draws a second wave. Siddheshwar Yatra around Makar Sankranti in January is Solapur's own festival. Akkalkot's Swami Samarth math and the Tuljapur Bhavani temple, especially during Navratri, draw visitors year-round. Add Diwali and the summer school break, and the four weekly flights can sell out. Check availability on FlightGPT three to four weeks ahead for these dates.

Which days work best for a Mumbai–Solapur trip?

The schedule suits two common trips. A Monday-to-Wednesday business visit lets you leave Mumbai at 15:50 on Monday and fly back on the Wednesday afternoon departure from Solapur. A Friday-to-Sunday family weekend uses the 12:10 Friday departure and the Sunday return. Because there is no flight on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, missing your flight means a two-day wait or switching to the train. Build in a safety margin when you head to Mumbai airport, especially on Friday afternoons. For the reverse journey and its departure times, see our Solapur to Mumbai page.

Practical notes for Mumbai departures

Allow plenty of time to reach Mumbai airport: an afternoon departure collides with the city's school and office traffic, and the Line 3 Aqua metro is the steadier option from south and central Mumbai. Check the terminal on your Star Air boarding pass. Regional carriers usually close check-in 45 minutes before departure. Web check-in is available, and doing it the day before lets you pick a seat on the smaller jet. Carry Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence. Finally, register your phone number on the booking so Star Air can reach you about any schedule changes.
