The IXZ–CCU sector is one of the busiest Andaman routes — IndiGo and Air India both fly it daily, sometimes with multiple departures. From Kolkata, onward connections to Chandigarh (IXC) are available via IndiGo and Air India. A CCU–IXC connection is roughly 2h 15m in the air. The Chennai (MAA) routing also works — Air India and IndiGo fly IXZ–MAA, then MAA–IXC is about 2h 30m. The Delhi (DEL) routing (IXZ–DEL direct on Air India, then DEL–IXC on IndiGo or SpiceJet) is the fastest once you are at Delhi, since DEL–IXC is only ≈ 50 minutes; however IXZ–DEL non-stop is not always available and may route via Kolkata anyway. Check which combination yields the shortest total time and best fare for your travel date.
Port Blair sees sharp demand spikes in the December–January peak tourist season and during school holidays (April–May). Travellers from the Chandigarh–Panchkula region visiting the Andamans particularly surge in December–January, driving up fares in both directions. Booking 6–8 weeks ahead for leisure travel is strongly recommended, especially if travel falls in those peak windows. The post-monsoon reopening of October–November and the quieter June–July period (outside monsoon-season closures) offer lower fares. As a rough guide, one-way IXZ–IXC fares (including the connection) have ranged from ₹5,500 to ₹18,000 depending on season and how far ahead you book (as of June 2026).
If you book IXZ–CCU and CCU–IXC as a single itinerary on IndiGo (or a combined Air India ticket), your bags typically transfer automatically. Allow 1h 30m–2h at Kolkata for a domestic-to-domestic connection. At Chennai, similar rules apply. If you are on separate tickets — which sometimes happens when mixing low-cost and full-service carriers to get the best price — you will need to reclaim bags, re-check in, and clear security again; allow at least 2 hours for this. Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Airport is straightforward for domestic connections; Chandigarh Airport is compact and fast to clear at arrival.
This is a domestic India route — no passport or visa is required. A valid government-issued photo ID is mandatory for check-in and security at both ends: Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, driving licence or Indian passport are all acceptable. DigiYatra (facial-recognition based boarding) is available at Chandigarh Airport and at the major stopover airports (Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi) — register on the DigiYatra app with your Aadhaar for a faster boarding experience. For the Andaman islands themselves, note that Indian nationals do not need a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) for Port Blair and most of the main islands, though certain tribal-area islands still require specific permits.
Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair handles both domestic and a limited number of international flights. The terminal is medium-sized and check-in queues can form quickly in the high season; arriving 2 hours before departure is advisable. The airport sits ≈ 3 km south of the Aberdeen Bazaar area — the main commercial centre — making it one of the most conveniently located Indian airports for a city of its size. Auto-rickshaws and app-based taxis (Ola has limited but growing coverage in Port Blair) connect the terminal to the ferry jetty for anyone continuing to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep) islands.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC) serves the Chandigarh–Panchkula–Mohali tricity area and is ≈ 11 km south of the Chandigarh city centre. The terminal is compact and arrivals clear quickly. IndiGo and Air India operate the most domestic frequencies; international routes to select Gulf cities are also available. App-based cabs (Ola, Uber) and the Chandigarh tricity bus service connect IXC to sectors 17, 22 and 35 in Chandigarh, as well as to Panchkula and Mohali. If you are connecting onwards to Shimla, Manali or Amritsar by road, car-rental desks operate inside the terminal. Parking is available but limited — drop-off is easier during peak times.
No. No airline operates a non-stop IXZ–IXC service. All options require a 1-stop via Kolkata (CCU), Chennai (MAA) or Delhi (DEL), with total journey time of approximately 4h 30m–6 hours.
IndiGo and Air India are the main operators covering both legs. IndiGo typically offers IXZ–CCU–IXC routings; Air India offers IXZ–DEL–IXC. SpiceJet serves some IXZ legs and selected IXC connections.
A valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN, driving licence or passport) is mandatory for domestic air travel. No visa or special permit is needed. DigiYatra facial-recognition boarding is available at major stopover airports.
One-way fares (including the connection) have ranged from roughly ₹5,500 to ₹18,000 depending on season and advance-purchase window (as of June 2026). Booking 6–8 weeks ahead and avoiding December–January peak season saves considerably.
Total journey time is typically 4h 30m–6 hours. For example: IXZ–CCU is ≈ 2h 10m, layover ≈ 1h 30m–2h, CCU–IXC ≈ 2h 15m gives approximately 6 hours total. A tighter Delhi routing can be shorter.
No permit is required for Port Blair and the main tourist islands (Havelock / Swaraj Dweep, Neil / Shaheed Dweep). However, certain restricted tribal-area islands still require prior permits. Foreigners need an Andaman Restricted Area Permit (RAP).
