IndiGo operates the only Purnea–Hyderabad non-stop, listed in timetables as 6E 5936 and flown with an Airbus A320neo. Recent schedules show one departure a day, with the time varying between late morning and mid-afternoon in different listings, and a flight time of about 2h 25m. Tracking data has shown the flight running reliably on time. Because Purnia Airport only opened in September 2025, the timetable is still young and may change, so confirm on your date.

Purnia Airport is on the outskirts of Purnea city, on land next to the Air Force's Chunapur station. Many passengers come from neighbouring districts, so road time matters. Approximate distances to Purnea:
National highways in the region are good in parts but can be slowed by heavy truck traffic and, in the monsoon, flooding from the Kosi and Mahananda rivers. Leave a generous buffer, especially from July to September.
Purnia Airport operates from a temporary terminal while plans for a permanent building are discussed. It is small, so arrive early enough to stand in line with families carrying large bags: two hours before departure is sensible. IndiGo closes bag drop 45 minutes before take-off. Facilities are limited, with a few seats and basic snacks, and there are no lounges. Carry a government photo ID: Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID. If you are flying for the first time, airline staff at the counter can help with boarding passes and baggage tags.
The standard IndiGo economy fare includes 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin baggage. Passengers returning to Hyderabad often carry food from home: makhana (fox nuts) from the Purnea–Darbhanga belt, homemade pickles, thekua and sattu. Dry foods are fine in either bag, but pickles and anything oily or liquid over 100 ml must go in checked baggage, sealed and wrapped to prevent leaks. If you are carrying more than 15 kg, pre-book extra baggage online when buying the ticket; paying at the airport is more expensive and the temporary terminal's counter can be slow.
The flight lands at Hyderabad's single integrated terminal at Shamshabad. From arrivals:
If you land in the late afternoon, evening traffic towards the IT corridor can double travel times, so plan accordingly if you need to report for a shift the same day.
Because Purnia Airport is new, many passengers on 6E 5936 are flying for the first time. A short checklist:
At Hyderabad, follow the arrivals signs to the baggage belt, then to the pickup zone.
The busiest southbound days come right after Chhath Puja, which falls after Diwali in October or November. Thousands of workers return to Hyderabad within a few days, and the single daily flight sells out quickly. Other heavy periods are after Holi in March, at the end of the wedding season, and in early June when school holidays end. If you know your return date, book as early as possible. If the non-stop is full, look at Kolkata, where IndiGo and Star Air both connect from Purnea, or Bagdogra, about 170–180 km away, which has flights to Hyderabad.
Before 2025, Seemanchal residents flew from Bagdogra, Darbhanga or Patna, all several hours away by road, or travelled by train. Those options still help when the Purnea flight is full or cancelled. Long-distance trains from Katihar and Purnea Junction reach Secunderabad but take more than a day. A connection through Kolkata on IndiGo can sometimes be booked on a single ticket, which protects your onward flight if the first leg is late. For the journey in the other direction, see our Hyderabad to Purnea page.

Yes. Purnia Airport (PXN) in Bihar opened for commercial flights in September 2025, working from a temporary terminal beside the Chunapur Air Force station. IndiGo and Star Air were the first airlines to serve it.
Katihar is about 30 km from Purnea, usually under an hour by road. Araria is about 45 km and Kishanganj about 70 km, so allow extra time before the Hyderabad flight.
If IndiGo's Purnea to Hyderabad non-stop is full, fly Purnea to Kolkata on IndiGo or Star Air and connect there, or travel about 170–180 km by road to Bagdogra Airport for flights to Hyderabad.

Most travellers prefer the Purnea to Hyderabad non-stop option. The direct Purnea-Hyderabad flight time is ≈ 2h 25m. If you are flexible, 1-stop alternatives through major hubs can be 15-30 percent cheaper. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Purnea Hyderabad ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Purnea–Hyderabad fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
