Looking for cheap flights from Pune to Ajmer? FlightGPT compares live PNQ to KQH fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Pune to Ajmer non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Pune-Ajmer fare is one search away.
Ajmer is served by Kishangarh Airport (KQH), about 27 km away, and the one carrier flying a non-stop here from Pune is Star Air, on its Embraer regional jets. The PNQ–KQH non-stop runs roughly four to five days a week rather than daily, so it pays to match your dates to its schedule.
If the Star Air non-stop does not suit your day, IndiGo offers 1-stop itineraries via Delhi or Mumbai. Those take much longer but run on more days. Star Air is the smaller, regional operator here — book early, as a single non-stop on a low-frequency route sells out faster than a big-airline daily service. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct; Vistara has merged into Air India.
The distance is about 895 km. Star Air's non-stop covers it in roughly 1 hour 45 minutes on an Embraer regional jet — easily the quickest option. Both cities are on IST, so there is no time change.
A 1-stop alternative via Delhi or Mumbai stretches the total to around 3 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours including the layover, since you backtrack through a hub. Unless the non-stop is unavailable or much pricier, it is the obvious pick. Remember the airport is Kishangarh (KQH), not in Ajmer city itself, so add the 27 km ground leg to your plans.
Demand into Ajmer is shaped by pilgrimage and the Pushkar season nearby, plus Rajasthan's cooler-weather tourism. On a low-frequency non-stop, book early — there are simply fewer seats to go round. Fares are described qualitatively only; check live prices.
| Season | Demand | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (cool season, Pushkar Fair in Nov) | High | Book well ahead around the Pushkar Camel Fair and winter tourism peak |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Lower | Hot in Rajasthan; fares are usually softest — good value if you can take the heat |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Moderate | Generally cheaper; the non-stop is short so weather disruption is limited |
Honest levers on this route:
Star Air has run the PNQ–KQH leg as a morning departure, which lands you near Ajmer with the day ahead — handy for the onward drive from Kishangarh and for reaching the Dargah or Pushkar in good time. Schedules on regional routes can shift seasonally, so always check the current timing when you book; on the operating days there is typically just one non-stop, so there is little choice of window.
Business: the non-stop is a genuine time-saver into the Ajmer–Kishangarh belt (note Kishangarh's marble trade). If your meeting day matches a Star Air operating day, take it; otherwise an IndiGo 1-stop via Delhi is the fallback.
Family / pilgrims: the short non-stop is far gentler than a long connection, especially with elders heading to the Ajmer Dargah or Pushkar. Book early to secure seats on the limited-frequency service.
Student: summer and monsoon dates are cheapest; if your travel day falls outside the non-stop schedule, an IndiGo 1-stop booked a few weeks ahead keeps costs down — just expect a longer day.
You depart Pune Airport (PNQ). Pune now operates a new integrated Terminal 2 alongside the older terminal, and IndiGo flights have been split across both, so check which terminal your flight uses on your ticket. You arrive at Kishangarh Airport (KQH), a small single-terminal airport serving Ajmer and Kishangarh — quick to clear, but with limited facilities. It sits about 27 km from Ajmer city, so plan your onward road transfer.
In Pune, PNQ is about 10 km from the city centre but sits within the Lohegaon air-force station, so allow extra time at security and entry. App cabs and the taxi counter are the usual options. At the Ajmer end, Kishangarh (KQH) is roughly 27 km from Ajmer and close to Kishangarh town; taxis are the main way out, so it is worth pre-booking a cab or hotel pickup given the small airport's limited transport.
Star Air and IndiGo domestic economy fares generally include 15 kg check-in plus one 7 kg cabin bag, though Star Air's regional Embraer jets can have tighter cabin-bag handling, so check size limits before you fly. The cheapest fares may be cabin-only. For the IndiGo 1-stop option, full rules are on the IndiGo baggage page; confirm Star Air's allowance on its own fare rules.
This is a short, largely weather-resilient hop. Rajasthan summers (Apr–Jun) are intensely hot, so plan transfers and water accordingly. The monsoon is light here and rarely disrupts the quick non-stop. If you fall back on a 1-stop via Delhi in December–January, factor in possible winter-fog delays at DEL. Time your visit around the Pushkar Camel Fair (November) only if you want the crowds — otherwise the cooler months are ideal and calmer.
The whole game on Pune–Ajmer is the Star Air schedule. Because the non-stop runs only about four to five days a week, check its operating days first and build your trip around them — a single day's flexibility can be the difference between a 1h 45m hop and a 4–5 hour connection via Delhi. And always remember you land at Kishangarh, ~27 km from Ajmer, so pre-arrange the taxi.
Star Air operates the non-stop to Kishangarh Airport (KQH), which serves Ajmer. IndiGo offers 1-stop connections via Delhi or Mumbai. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Yes — Star Air flies a non-stop from Pune (PNQ) to Kishangarh (KQH) near Ajmer, but only about four to five days a week, not daily.
The Star Air non-stop takes roughly 1 hour 45 minutes. A 1-stop IndiGo itinerary via Delhi or Mumbai runs about 3 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours including the layover.
Star Air's non-stop operates roughly four to five days a week, typically once on operating days. IndiGo 1-stop connections are available on most days.
Summer (Apr–Jun) and the monsoon are usually cheapest. The cool season and the November Pushkar Fair push fares up, so book those well ahead. Match your date to a Star Air operating day to avoid a pricier connection.
Pune uses Pune Airport (PNQ), which now has a new Terminal 2 alongside the older terminal — check your ticket. Ajmer is served by Kishangarh Airport (KQH), a single-terminal airport about 27 km from the city.
Star Air and IndiGo domestic economy generally include 15 kg check-in plus one 7 kg cabin bag, though Star Air's regional jets can have tighter cabin-bag handling. The cheapest fares may be cabin-only — see the IndiGo baggage page and Star Air's fare rules.
Yes. Both Star Air and IndiGo offer web check-in ahead of departure, letting you secure a seat and boarding pass before reaching the airport.
Change and cancellation fees apply per the fare rules. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels or substantially reschedules a flight you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative, and statutory taxes are refundable even on non-refundable fares.
Rarely. The short non-stop is largely weather-resilient; the monsoon is light over this corridor. The main risk is winter fog at Delhi if you take a 1-stop via DEL in December–January.
Neither Star Air nor IndiGo broadly carries pets on these domestic services, so this route is best treated as not pet-friendly. Check each airline's current policy before relying on it.
Infants under 2 travelling on a lap pay only a small nominal fare plus taxes, not a full seat. One infant per adult; carry proof of age.
No. The airport is Kishangarh (KQH), about 27 km from Ajmer. Plan a taxi or pre-booked transfer for the onward road leg to Ajmer, Pushkar or the Dargah.
Take the Star Air non-stop whenever your date matches its schedule — it is roughly 1h 45m versus 3h 30m–5h on a 1-stop via Delhi or Mumbai. Only fall back on a connection if the non-stop is unavailable or much pricier.
Prices are usually close. Booking direct simplifies changes and check-in. A metasearch like FlightGPT lets you see the Star Air non-stop and the IndiGo 1-stop side by side so you can weigh time against price.

Most travellers prefer the Pune to Ajmer non-stop option. The direct Pune-Ajmer flight time is ≈ 1h 45m non-stop on Star Air (PNQ–KQH); 1-stop itineraries run ≈ 3h 30m to 5h via Delhi or Mumbai. If you are flexible, 1-stop alternatives through major hubs can be 15-30 percent cheaper.
