Rajkot to Delhi is served by daily non-stop flights. As of 2026 the carriers operating direct are IndiGo and Air India. Between them they run roughly two to three non-stops a day, with frequency varying by day of the week. Both fly A320-family jets on the sector.
Note that flights now operate from the new Hirasar (Rajkot International) Airport, which replaced the old in-city Rajkot airport in September 2023. You may see the code shown as HSR; some booking sites still display RAJ. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so they will not appear as options.
The non-stop distance from Rajkot to Delhi is about 1,010 km, covered in roughly 1h 45m to 2h 10m depending on winds and routing. The Delhi-bound leg (with prevailing winds) is often a touch quicker than the return. Both cities are on IST, so arrival clock time is simply departure time plus flight time — no time-zone adjustment.
If a non-stop time does not suit you, one-stop options via Mumbai or Ahmedabad exist, but with only a short non-stop available, the direct flight is almost always the better choice.
This is a business-and-VFR route as much as a leisure one, so weekday peaks matter. Festival weeks and the winter wedding season push fares up; the monsoon is softer.
| Period | Typical demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Dec (festivals, weddings) | High | Book 3–5 weeks ahead |
| Jan–Mar | Moderate–high | Book 2–4 weeks ahead |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Moderate | 2–3 weeks usually fine |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | More last-minute deals |
Fares change daily, so treat the table as relative demand rather than a price guide.
On Rajkot–Delhi:
Delhi is heavily affected by dense fog from mid-December into January, the single biggest cause of delay on flights into IGI. An early-morning departure either beats the worst of it or recovers faster if the airport is disrupted, while late-evening arrivals into Delhi are more exposed when fog returns after dusk. Outside winter, choose whichever of the two or three daily slots best fits your plans — there is no strong weather reason to prefer one over another.
Business travellers: Saurashtra industry (engineering, ceramics, jewellery) drives a lot of this traffic. Take the morning non-stop for a productive day in Delhi; with limited frequencies, build in buffer if you have onward meetings, especially in fog season.
Families: the short non-stop is easy. Pre-book seats together and prefer a daytime flight. Check whether your airline arrives at Delhi T1 or T3 if you have an onward connection.
Students and budget travellers: set a fare alert, travel mid-week, and go hand-baggage-only. Booking a few weeks out on this limited-seat route makes a real difference.
Rajkot — Hirasar / Rajkot International Airport (HSR): a modern greenfield airport that opened in 2023, about 30 km from the city near Hirasar on the Rajkot–Ahmedabad highway. It has a single terminal handling all flights. Allow extra time for the longer drive compared with the old in-city airport.
Delhi — Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL): India's busiest airport, with multiple terminals. IndiGo operates from Terminal 1 on this route, while Air India uses Terminal 3. Always confirm your terminal on the ticket, as it determines where you check in and, for connections, whether you need an inter-terminal transfer.
In Rajkot: because Hirasar is about 30 km out on the highway, plan your airport run carefully — app cabs and taxis take roughly 45–60 minutes from the city centre, and there are shuttle/bus options along the Ahmedabad highway. Leave early in peak traffic.
In Delhi: from T1 or T3, app cabs and prepaid taxis serve the whole NCR. The Airport Express Metro connects T3 (via Aerocity/New Delhi) to the city quickly; from T1 use the Magenta Line or a cab. Allow extra time during fog season and rush hour.
Domestic economy allowance is typically 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin, varying by airline and fare type. See IndiGo baggage for the latest rules, and Air India's own page if you book with them. Pre-pay any excess online — it is significantly cheaper than at the Rajkot or Delhi airport counter.
Rajkot is hot and dry for much of the year, peaking in summer; Delhi swings from scorching summers to cold, foggy winters. The key disruptor on this route is Delhi winter fog (December–January), so prefer a morning flight and build slack into onward plans. In the monsoon, occasional thunderstorms over north and west India can cause short delays. Pack a warm layer for a Delhi winter visit and light cottons for Saurashtra's heat.
Two things matter most on Rajkot–Delhi: the new airport is 30 km out at Hirasar (leave early), and your Delhi terminal depends on the airline — IndiGo T1, Air India T3. Compare both carriers in one search on FlightGPT and confirm your terminal before you head out.
Yes. IndiGo and Air India run roughly 2–3 non-stop flights a day between Rajkot's Hirasar airport and Delhi, with frequency varying by day of the week.
A non-stop takes about 1h 45m to 2h 10m depending on winds and routing. One-stop options exist via Mumbai or Ahmedabad but take much longer.
IndiGo and Air India operate the non-stop. Go First and Jet Airways have shut down, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so they no longer appear as separate carriers.
Flights use the new Hirasar (Rajkot International) Airport, code HSR, which opened in 2023 about 30 km from the city and replaced the old in-city airport. Some sites still show the code as RAJ.
It depends on the airline: IndiGo operates from Terminal 1 and Air India from Terminal 3. Confirm on your ticket, especially if you have an onward connection.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, taxes and statutory fees are refundable even on non-refundable fares, plus the basic fare per the fare rules. If the airline cancels the flight, you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative.
Domestic economy is typically 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin, varying by airline and fare. Pre-pay any excess online to save money over the airport counter.
Most carriers open web check-in 48 hours before departure and close it 1–2 hours before. Doing it online lets you choose seats and speed through the airport.
It can. Delhi sees dense fog from mid-December into January, the main cause of delays on flights into IGI. A morning departure reduces your exposure and recovers faster if there is disruption.
About 30 km, on the Rajkot–Ahmedabad highway. Allow 45–60 minutes by cab and leave early in peak traffic, as it is further out than the old airport.
Some airlines allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic routes with advance booking, weight limits and a health certificate; policies differ. Confirm with your specific carrier well before travel.
Infants under two travel on an adult's lap at a reduced fare and must be added to the booking. Carry proof of age; one lap infant is allowed per adult, and strollers can usually be gate-checked.
Prices are often similar, but booking directly with the airline makes refunds, date changes and web check-in simpler. Use FlightGPT to compare, then book on the carrier's site.
Mid-week departures and the monsoon months tend to be cheapest. Avoid the October–December festival and wedding season, when this limited-seat route fills up and fares climb.
