IndiGo holds the bulk of capacity between Rajkot and Pune, typically offering one to two daily departures. Timings often favour early morning or evening slots, making it feasible as a same-day business trip from Rajkot to Pune for meetings and back. Air India has operated seasonal capacity on this route. SpiceJet previously served it during capacity expansion phases. Given that RAJ is a secondary airport, the Rajkot–Pune schedule can be thin and subject to seasonal adjustments — always verify the current schedule directly with the airline or on FlightGPT before making commitments.
Economy fares on Rajkot–Pune (as of June 2026) sit in the ₹3,200–₹8,500 one-way range when booked more than 3 weeks ahead. Because the route has only one or two daily flights, seats sell out faster than on busy corridors and fares spike sharply for last-minute bookers — expect ₹10,000–₹15,000 within a week of travel. An alternative worth considering: Ahmedabad (AMD, ≈ 2h by road or rail from Rajkot) offers far more AMD–PNQ flights and competition keeps fares lower, sometimes making the Ahmedabad routing cheaper even after factoring in travel to AMD.
Rajkot–Pune is a domestic route — no passport or visa is needed. A government photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, passport, or driving licence) is all you need for boarding. Both Rajkot Airport and Pune's Lohegaon Airport support DigiYatra, CISF's biometric entry system — enroll once via the DigiYatra app to move through security and boarding gates with facial recognition. Web check-in on IndiGo opens 48 hours before departure; check in online and add hold baggage at that point to avoid airport surcharges.
Rajkot Airport is a compact, single-terminal facility on Aji Dam Road, about 3 km from the city centre — one of the closer airport-to-city distances in India. Auto-rickshaws, Ola, and Uber serve the airport; shared autos run to the city for ≈ ₹30. The terminal is small — there are limited eating options inside, so eat before you arrive. Departures and arrivals share the same building. Security queues are usually swift. The airport handles both domestic and international flights (Rajkot has Gulf charters and some scheduled services), so ensure you join the correct domestic queue at check-in.
Pune Airport (PNQ) is at Lohegaon, about 9 km north-east of the city centre and roughly 15 km from Hinjawadi IT Park. Pre-paid taxis from PNQ to Koregaon Park cost ≈ ₹350–₹450; to Hinjawadi ≈ ₹550–₹700. Ola and Uber pick up from the designated zone outside arrivals. Pune Metro Line 1 has a station at Ramwadi (≈ 3 km from the airport by auto), connecting to Pimpri-Chinchwad and onward to the Civil Court interchange. The airport's single terminal handles all domestic and international flights; IndiGo uses Terminal 1.
On short IndiGo domestic sectors like RAJ–PNQ, the base 'Saver' fare includes 7 kg carry-on only — no checked baggage. Pre-adding a 15 kg check-in bag at booking costs approximately ₹500–₹800 on this sector, significantly cheaper than at the airport (≈ ₹1,500+). IndiGo's 'Flexi Plus' includes 15 kg checked baggage and free seat selection, which can be useful if you are booking for a family. As of June 2026, IndiGo's meal option on this short flight is a snack purchase onboard — expect limited hot food options given the brief duration of just 80 minutes.
The non-stop flight takes ≈ 1h 20m. IndiGo is the main operator on this 590 km sector.
IndiGo operates the primary service with 1–2 daily departures. Air India has served the route seasonally. SpiceJet previously operated here during capacity expansion.
Economy one-way fares range from ₹3,200 to ₹8,500 when booked 3+ weeks ahead as of June 2026. Last-minute fares within a week of travel can reach ₹10,000–₹15,000.
Ahmedabad (AMD) is ≈ 2 hours from Rajkot by road and has many more flights to Pune. AMD–PNQ fares are often ₹3,000–₹6,000 one-way with multiple daily IndiGo options.
No — any valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence) is sufficient. DigiYatra is available at Rajkot and Pune airports for biometric boarding.

What you pay on the Rajkot–Pune route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare.

Last-minute Rajkot to Pune fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Rajkot Pune prices across IndiGo, Air India (seasonal) — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
Most travellers prefer the Rajkot to Pune non-stop option. The direct Rajkot-Pune flight time is ≈ 1h 20m. 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 Rajkot Pune ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Rajkot–Pune 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.
