The non-stop between Port Blair and Bhubaneswar is seasonal. Air India Express flew it last winter, stopped at the end of March 2026, and has listed Bhubaneswar–Sri Vijaya Puram in its Winter Schedule 2026, which takes effect on 25 Oct, 2026. Schedule listings show the service resuming from that date at about four flights a week, with a scheduled time of roughly 2 hours 25 minutes. The airline says its new winter routes roll out in phases, so check that your date is actually on sale before planning. Search the route on FlightGPT for the days you want; outside the operating days, you will need a connection.
The government renamed Port Blair as Sri Vijaya Puram in September 2024, and airlines and booking sites now show either name. The airport code stays IXZ and the airport is still Veer Savarkar International Airport. Its newer integrated terminal opened in July 2023, with more check-in counters and aerobridges than the old building. The airfield is shared with the Indian Navy, so photography rules are strict, and most civilian flights operate in the morning and early afternoon. The airport is about 3 km from Aberdeen Bazaar, a 10–15 minute drive.
The route serves several groups. Tourists from Odisha returning home after an Andaman holiday make up a large share in the winter peak. Government staff, defence families and teachers posted in the islands use it to travel home on leave. Students heading to Bhubaneswar's colleges and patients seeking treatment in the city's hospitals are also regular travellers. Bhubaneswar also works as a gateway to Puri and Konark, so some island residents fly this way for a pilgrimage to the Jagannath Temple. Families visiting relatives in Odisha make up the rest, and the direct flight saves them a full day compared with changing planes in Kolkata.
Air India Express sells several fare types. Its standard economy (Xpress Value) fares typically include 15 kg check-in, while Xpress Lite fares are cabin-only with no free checked baggage; the cabin allowance is typically 7 kg. Check what your fare includes before you reach the airport. Island souvenirs need care: dried fish, shells and coral are subject to rules, and the export of coral and certain shells from the Andamans is prohibited, so keep receipts for anything bought from government emporiums. Excess baggage bought in advance online usually costs less than paying at the airport.
Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI) is one of India's most centrally located airports, roughly 4 km from the city centre. App cabs, pre-paid taxis and autos are available outside arrivals, and the trip to Master Canteen, Saheed Nagar or the old town temples typically takes 15–30 minutes. The airport has separate terminals for domestic and international flights; check your Air India Express boarding pass for the right one if you are being collected. The Lingaraj Temple is about 6 km from the airport. Odia thalis and Bhubaneswar's temple cluster around Bindu Sagar make for an easy first evening.
Many travellers continue straight from BBI:
Trains from Bhubaneswar station also run frequently to Puri. Bhubaneswar airport has domestic flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other cities, so it can serve as a transfer point, though the Air India Express flight will usually be booked separately from onward legs.
The Andamans' peak season runs from October to May, with the busiest weeks around Durga Puja, Diwali (8 Nov, 2026), Christmas and New Year. Odia families travelling to the islands for these holidays return in the following week, so flights from Port Blair to Bhubaneswar fill after each break. Puri's Rath Yatra in June–July falls outside the winter schedule. Search and compare on FlightGPT early for post-holiday dates. For the outbound journey, see Bhubaneswar to Port Blair flights.
Before 25 Oct, 2026, and on non-operating days after it, the practical route is via Kolkata, which has several daily flights from Port Blair and frequent onward services to Bhubaneswar, or via Chennai. Separate tickets need a generous buffer, as island flights can be delayed by weather. Reach Veer Savarkar airport two hours before departure, and leave Havelock or Neil early, because ferry delays are common. Search and compare on FlightGPT, then book with the airline or travel partner it sends you to.
