IndiGo is the carrier on this intra-Maharashtra hop, operating the route's non-stop flights with several departures spread through the day. There's no Go First or Jet Airways service — both have closed — and Vistara has merged into Air India, so older schedules naming them are out of date.
Because IndiGo dominates here, you'll mostly be choosing between its own departure times rather than between airlines. Connecting itineraries via Mumbai or Hyderabad exist but add hours to what is a short, simple journey, so they're rarely worth it.
The aerial distance is roughly 600 km and the non-stop takes about 1 hour 30 minutes on an Airbus A320 or A321neo. Both cities are in Maharashtra on Indian Standard Time, so there's no clock change. It's a genuine short hop — by the time you've reached cruise you're nearly ready to descend.
One-stop routings via Mumbai turn a 90-minute flight into a half-day journey, so unless the timing is unbeatable, stick with the non-stop. On any connection, check whether it's a single through-ticket for baggage and delay protection.
This is a steady intra-state route with healthy frequency, so fares are less volatile than on thin leisure sectors. The broad pattern:
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Festival season (Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali) | High | Higher; book 2–3 weeks ahead |
| Oct–Feb (pleasant weather) | Moderate–high | Steady; mid-week best |
| Mar–May (summer) | Moderate | Softer fares |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest; rain-related delays possible |
With several non-stops a day, you usually have options even at short notice. We won't quote a specific fare — prices move daily — but booking a week or two ahead, and avoiding Ganesh Chaturthi peak in Pune, keeps costs down.
Because frequency is good, you rarely need to book far ahead except around major Maharashtra festivals.
With several non-stops daily you can choose to suit your plans. Early-morning departures get you to Pune for a full working day; mid-day flights are usually the cheapest. Evening flights suit a relaxed start but check the last-flight time so a delay doesn't strand you. The flight is so short that an on-time departure all but guarantees an on-time arrival.
Business travellers: the frequent schedule makes day-return trips between these two industrial cities feasible. Book a morning out and an evening return, travel cabin-only, and use web check-in to keep the airport stop minimal.
Families: the short flight is easy with children, and the regular timings give flexibility. Pre-book seats together and you're done in 90 minutes.
Students and budget travellers: honestly, on a 600 km hop the train or a Volvo coach can be much cheaper, if slower. Fly when a low fare appears or time is tight; otherwise weigh the overnight train, which saves a night's accommodation.
Nagpur (NAG): Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport has a single integrated terminal for all domestic flights — small and quick to clear.
Pune (PNQ): Pune Airport operates from an integrated terminal, expanded with a new wing that opened in 2024 to ease the long-standing congestion. The airport shares a runway with the adjacent Air Force station, which can occasionally affect slot timings, so build in a little buffer.
Nagpur's airport is about 8 km from the city centre — roughly 20–30 minutes by taxi or app-cab.
Pune's airport sits in Lohegaon, around 10–12 km northeast of the centre. Reaching it can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, which is often heavy, so leave early. Pre-paid taxis, app-cabs and buses serve the terminal; the city's expanding metro is gradually improving connectivity to the airport area.
IndiGo's standard domestic allowance is 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag, though the cheapest fares may not include free check-in baggage — worth checking on a short hop where many travel cabin-only. See the IndiGo baggage page for details. On a 90-minute flight, packing light and travelling cabin-only is the quickest way through both compact airports.
Both cities are in Maharashtra and share a broad climate. The June–September monsoon brings heavy rain to Pune in particular and can cause short delays. October to February is pleasant and the best time to travel. March to May is hot, especially in Nagpur, which gets among the highest summer temperatures in the country. Pack light cottons, add a layer for the cabin, and carry rain protection in the monsoon.
On a 600 km intra-Maharashtra hop, flying only wins on time, not always on cost. With several IndiGo non-stops a day you rarely need to book far ahead — but check the train and coach fares too, and remember Pune airport traffic can be heavy, so leave for Lohegaon with time to spare.
Yes. IndiGo operates non-stop flights with several departures a day, each taking about 1 hour 30 minutes. It's an intra-Maharashtra hop with good frequency.
The non-stop takes around 1 hour 30 minutes. Connecting itineraries via Mumbai stretch to several hours and are rarely worth it on so short a route.

IndiGo operates several non-stops a day, spread across the morning, midday and evening, giving you flexible timing options.
On a 600 km route, the train or a Volvo coach is cheaper but much slower (around 12–15 hours by rail). Fly to save the day; take the overnight train to save a night's stay and money.
Monsoon (June–September) and summer (March–May) tend to be cheapest. Major Maharashtra festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali push fares up — book a couple of weeks ahead for those.
IndiGo's standard domestic allowance is 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag, though the lowest fares may exclude free check-in baggage. Check the IndiGo baggage page and confirm at booking.
Yes. IndiGo web check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes about an hour before — useful for picking seats and minimising your time at these compact airports.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels and can't accommodate you on a suitable alternative, you're entitled to a full refund including statutory taxes and fees, whatever your fare type.
Possibly. Pune sees heavy monsoon rain (June–September) that can cause short delays. Allow buffer time for onward plans and keep airline notifications on.
Pet carriage depends on the airline's policy, prior approval and fees, with limited availability. Contact the airline well ahead of travel to confirm.
Infants under two on a lap pay a nominal infant fare rather than a seat fare, with proof of age required. One infant per adult is the usual limit.
Pune Airport operates from a single integrated terminal, expanded with a new wing that opened in 2024. It shares a runway with the adjacent Air Force station, so allow a little buffer.
