The S5 187 morning flight from Nanded
Star Air's S5 187 has been scheduled to depart Nanded at about 9:00 am and land at Hindon around 11:00 am. The aircraft often arrives in Nanded from Bengaluru earlier in the morning, so a late inbound can push your departure. Flight-tracking data through 2026 showed roughly six operations a week, not seven, so one weekday may have no flight. A late-morning arrival in the NCR is practical: you reach Hindon after the morning rush and can be at a Delhi office or a Noida home by early afternoon. Search your date on FlightGPT to confirm the flight runs.
Who flies from Nanded to the capital region
Nanded's traffic to Delhi is a mix of three groups. Sikh pilgrims returning from Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib to Delhi, Punjab and Haryana form a big share, and some stay on the same aircraft when the rotation continues north to Adampur in Punjab. Students from Nanded and nearby Latur, Parbhani and Hingoli head to Delhi for coaching, university and competitive exams. Traders, government staff and doctors make up the rest. Before Star Air restarted flying here on 31 Mar, 2024, the realistic options were a long train ride or a drive to Hyderabad or Aurangabad for a flight.
Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Airport before you fly
Nanded's airport is named after Guru Gobind Singh and sits on the city's edge, usually a short auto or taxi ride from the Hazur Sahib area and the railway station. It is a small terminal with a handful of daily flights, almost all by Star Air, so check-in is quick. Arrive about 60–75 minutes before departure anyway, since there is often only one counter open per flight. Keep Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence ready. In August 2025, a DGCA audit led Star Air to pause Nanded flights for about 20 days; operations resumed on 10 Sep, 2025 and have run normally since.
Where Hindon puts you in Delhi NCR
Hindon Airport is in Ghaziabad, about 20 km from Connaught Place, inside an Indian Air Force base. It is closest to:
- Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Vaishali and Kaushambi
- Noida and Greater Noida
- East and North-East Delhi, including Anand Vihar and Mayur Vihar
For Gurugram, Dwarka or South-West Delhi the drive is long, often over an hour in daytime traffic. There is no metro at the terminal, so book a cab or arrange a pickup. Sikh pilgrims bound for Gurdwara Bangla Sahib or Sis Ganj Sahib in central and Old Delhi can reach them by road in under an hour on a good day.
Flying business class on Star Air's E175
The Embraer E175 on this route has 12 business-class seats and 64 in economy. Business offers wider seats, priority check-in and a larger baggage allowance, and it can be worth comparing for elderly relatives or for passengers carrying religious items and gifts from Hazur Sahib. Economy is 2-2, so everyone gets a window or aisle. Star Air includes a snack on board. Allowances depend on fare type, so read the baggage line on your ticket rather than relying on another airline's rules.
Peak periods for Nanded–NCR seats
Northbound demand jumps after Nanded's big religious events, when pilgrims head home together. Plan early for the days after Hola Mohalla in March, after Guru Gobind Singh's Prakash Purab around late December or January, and after Diwali. Students crowd the flight at the start of Delhi academic terms in July and January. Because only one aircraft serves the route each day, a group of 15 or 20 pilgrims can fill a large part of the economy cabin; if you are travelling as a jatha, book together early.
Morning routine in Nanded before the 9 am departure
A 9:00 am departure means leaving your hotel or sarai around 7:30 am. Many pilgrims attend the early-morning prayers at Hazur Sahib, which start well before dawn, and then head straight to the airport, so plan the timing with your group the night before. Breakfast options inside the small terminal are limited; a quick meal at the gurdwara langar or your hotel is the better choice. Keep in mind:
- Taxis are easiest to arrange the evening before through your hotel or sarai.
- Check-in counters often open about two hours before the flight and close 45 minutes before departure.
- If the inbound aircraft from Bengaluru is delayed, Star Air usually sends an SMS, so keep the phone number on your booking active.
- Carry prasad and kara in your cabin bag if you want them close at hand.
If the Nanded flight is full or cancelled
Your fallback options are a road or rail transfer to Hyderabad (Rajiv Gandhi International) or Aurangabad, both of which have frequent Delhi flights, or the overnight trains from Nanded towards Delhi. Compare the full door-to-door time, since a five-hour drive to Hyderabad cancels out much of the flying time saved.
