IndiGo is confirmed as flying Patna to Ranchi non-stop as of Oct 2026. On a route of 254 km, expect a narrow-body jet such as an A320-family or Boeing 737 aircraft. Schedules on regional routes change between the summer and winter timetables, so check the exact days of operation for your date rather than assuming a daily flight.
When more than one airline flies the sector, compare departure times as well as fares — a cheaper flight that lands late at a smaller airport can cost you more in a late-night cab.
Reported frequency as of Oct 2026: Daily. Timetables on regional routes change between seasons, so confirm the days of operation for your date.
Patna and Ranchi are 254 km apart in a straight line, and the non-stop takes about 45 min gate to gate. That figure is an estimate from distance and aircraft type; the scheduled time on your booking can be 10–20 minutes either way depending on routing and taxi times. Both cities are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock change.
Patna's flights use Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (IATA code PAT), in Bihar. The airport is roughly 5.6 km from Patna as the crow flies; road distance is longer. Reach the airport 90 minutes before a domestic departure — 2 hours if you are checking a bag at a busy time — and complete web check-in in advance, which most Indian airlines open 48 hours before departure.
Other non-stops from Patna as of Oct 2026 include Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi and Goa.
Birsa Munda Airport (IXR) serves Ranchi in Jharkhand. Expect about 4.8 km between the airport and Ranchi in a straight line. Cabs and app taxis are the usual way in and out; at smaller airports, pre-book the cab for early-morning and late-night flights rather than relying on the rank.
Other non-stops from Ranchi as of Oct 2026 include Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Kolkata.
IndiGo includes 15 kg of check-in baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag on standard domestic economy fares. Extra baggage bought online before departure is cheaper than paying at the airport counter, and power banks must go in your cabin bag, never in checked luggage.
Expect higher fares around Chhath and Durga Puja at the Ranchi end and Chhath Puja (Oct–Nov) and Diwali at the Patna end, plus national holidays and long weekends. Tuesday to Thursday flights are often cheaper than Friday and Sunday. With limited seats on a route like this, a late booking is more likely to cost more than less.
If the non-stop is full or the timing doesn't suit, Patna and Ranchi are both connected to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, so a one-stop routing through one of those cities is possible. Book it as a single ticket where you can, so the airline is responsible for the connection if the first flight is late, and leave at least 90 minutes between flights at a large hub.
