A new Fly91 link from Navi Mumbai to the Konkan
Fly91 is the regional airline listed on the Navi Mumbai–Sindhudurg route. In Oct 2026 the airline announced its Winter Schedule 2026-27, which brings it into Navi Mumbai for the first time, alongside routes to Goa, Jalgaon and Agatti. Treat this as a new route: we have not verified a fixed weekly frequency, and regional services like this often start on selected days of the week.
Fly91 flies ATR 72-600 turboprops, which carry around 70 passengers and cruise lower and slower than jets. On a 336 km sector that hardly matters. Search the route on FlightGPT for your dates; if there is no flight that day, the site will show alternatives such as Goa's Mopa airport, which is a drive away from south Sindhudurg.
Why fly to Sindhudurg instead of taking the Konkan road or rail?
By road, Mumbai to Malvan along the Mumbai–Goa highway (NH 66) is a long day of 8–10 hours depending on roadworks and ghat traffic. The Konkan Railway is scenic and reliable but also takes most of a day to reach Kudal or Sindhudurg station. A flight of about 70 minutes turns that into a morning's travel.
The trade-off is frequency and capacity: a single ATR flight on some days of the week cannot match the train for flexibility, and fares on small regional routes can move sharply as seats fill. For festival travel, many families still book the train months ahead and use the flight as a backup.
Chipi airport: where you land and how far everything is
Sindhudurg Airport is at Chipi-Parule in Vengurla taluka, about 21 km from Malvan and 31 km from Sindhudurg town (Oros). It has a 2,500 metre runway that can take A320 and Boeing 737 jets, though scheduled flights so far have been turboprops. The terminal is small, built for about 200 departing and 200 arriving passengers at peak.
Public transport at the airport is limited. Arrange a taxi or a hotel pickup in advance, especially for an evening arrival. Tarkarli beach and the Malvan jetty for Sindhudurg Fort are the usual first stops; Vengurla and its beaches are also a short drive.
Ganpati, Diwali and winter beach season
Ganeshotsav is the single biggest travel event between Mumbai and the Konkan. Lakhs of Mumbai residents with roots in Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri travel home for Ganesh Chaturthi, which fell on 14 Sep, 2026; buses, trains and any flights sell out well in advance. Diwali (08 Nov, 2026) brings a second rush.
- October–February: beach and fort season, steady tourist demand.
- Late December: New Year crowds at Tarkarli and Malvan.
- June–September: heavy monsoon; water sports shut and the sea is rough.
Turboprop flights can also be affected by heavy monsoon weather, so leave slack in plans during July and August.
Fly91 baggage and boarding on a turboprop
Fly91's standard economy allowance has been 15 kg of check-in baggage plus 7 kg in the cabin; confirm on your ticket, since fare types differ. Overhead bins on an ATR are smaller than on a jet, so a bulky wheelie bag may be tagged at the aircraft door and returned on arrival.
Boarding is often by bus or a short walk across the apron, and the aircraft has a rear door. Seats on the right side heading south can give coastal views on a clear day, though we cannot promise the routing. Keep your phone and documents in a small bag you can hold, in case the main cabin bag goes into the hold.
Malvan, Tarkarli and Sindhudurg Fort: what draws visitors
Sindhudurg Fort, built in the 1660s under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on an island off Malvan, is the district's best-known sight and is reached by a short boat ride from the Malvan jetty. Boats run in fair weather and stop in the monsoon. Tarkarli, a few kilometres south, is known for clear water, snorkelling trips and Maharashtra Tourism's beach resort, while Devbagh sits on the spit where the Karli river meets the sea.
Food is the other big reason to come: Malvani fish thalis with kokum-based solkadhi, bangda and surmai fry, and coconut-heavy curries. Vengurla and Shiroda have quieter beaches, and Amboli hill station is a drive inland. Most visitors stay two to four nights. For a longer coastal trip, Goa's northern beaches are a short drive south across the state border.
Getting to NMI for a Konkan departure
Navi Mumbai International Airport is near Ulwe and Panvel, which suits travellers from Navi Mumbai, Thane and the central suburbs. From South Mumbai the Atal Setu bridge is quickest. Reach the airport 90 minutes before departure; small regional flights close check-in strictly.
If you are travelling as a group of relatives, check in together so the airline can seat you near each other on a small aircraft. The return guide, Sindhudurg to Navi Mumbai, covers the trip back.
