Navi Mumbai to Bhavnagar flights — quick facts

IndiGo's twice-daily turboprop to Saurashtra

IndiGo launched Navi Mumbai–Bhavnagar on 29 Mar, 2026, as one of more than 30 new routes from NMI that week, and announced it as a twice-daily service on ATR 72 turboprops. That makes it the only scheduled flight from the Mumbai region to Bhavnagar; there is no current non-stop from Mumbai's older BOM airport. For the winter schedule from 25 Oct, 2026, IndiGo said it would keep ATRs at Navi Mumbai for short Gujarat routes, while trimming some longer ones. Bhavnagar was not named among the cuts, but frequencies on new routes can be adjusted, so check your date on FlightGPT. The airline or travel partner handles the booking.

Getting to Ulwe for an ATR departure

Navi Mumbai International Airport opened on 25 Dec, 2025 at Ulwe, roughly 35 km from Mumbai's older airport. From Vashi, Nerul, Belapur, Kharghar or Panvel, it is a short ride. From South Mumbai, Ghatkopar or Bhuleshwar, where many Gujarati families live, take the Atal Setu sea bridge or the eastern route via Vashi; allow an hour or more at peak times. There is no metro to the terminal yet. ATR flights often board by bus from a remote stand, so reach the gate when boarding opens rather than at the last call. Arrive at the airport at least 75–90 minutes ahead, and remember IndiGo closes check-in 45 minutes before departure.

Palitana, Velavadar and Alang: what's near Bhavnagar

Bhavnagar is the airport for some of Saurashtra's best-known sites:

ATR baggage: pack soft, pack light

Your IndiGo ticket includes 15 kg of check-in baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a small personal item. On the ATR, overhead bins are compact; larger cabin trolleys are often tagged at the steps and handed back on the tarmac at Bhavnagar. A soft duffel is easier. Pilgrims heading to Palitana should pack comfortable footwear for the climb, a hat and water, and remember that leather items are not allowed on the Jain temple hill. Keep valuables and medicines in the personal item. Liquids over 100 ml go in the hold. Extra baggage is cheaper when pre-paid on IndiGo's site than at the NMI counter.

Weather and timing your Bhavnagar trip

The best months for Bhavnagar and Palitana are November to February, when days are mild and the climb is comfortable. March to May brings strong heat across Saurashtra; start any Palitana climb before sunrise. The monsoon from June to September is lighter in Bhavnagar than in Mumbai, but heavy Konkan rain can delay departures from Navi Mumbai. Demand peaks around Navratri, Diwali (8 Nov, 2026), the Gujarati New Year and the winter wedding season. The Palitana temples traditionally close to pilgrims during the four monsoon months of Chaturmas, and the Kartik Purnima yatra when they reopen draws very large crowds. Book well ahead for that week.

From Bhavnagar Airport to your hotel

Bhavnagar Airport is about 4 km south-east of the city centre, a 10–20 minute drive. Taxis and autos wait for arrivals, but with only two flights a day the queue can thin out quickly, so a pre-arranged pickup is safer for late arrivals. For Palitana, hire a car with driver from the airport; the drive is about an hour or so. Dharamshalas in Palitana often require advance booking during festival weeks. If you are visiting Velavadar, safari permits and timings are set by the forest department and should be checked before you travel.

Flying back to Navi Mumbai

Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on IndiGo. Carry an original photo ID such as Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence. If both IndiGo flights are full on your return date, Ahmedabad and Rajkot have many more Mumbai departures and are a few hours away by road. Bring back Bhavnagari ganthiya or Palitana's peda in sealed packs in your checked bag, and keep the cabin bag within 7 kg, as the ATR check at the gate is strict. See our Bhavnagar to Navi Mumbai guide for the return trip.
