From Sogane to Shamshabad: who operates the route
Two airlines connect Shivamogga with Hyderabad non-stop. Star Air flies Embraer regional jets across its network and has made Shivamogga one of its southern points. SpiceJet also serves the route, generally with Q400 turboprops on sectors like this one. Shivamogga Airport opened for scheduled flights in August 2023, so services here are still settling into a pattern.
Flight-tracking data in mid-2026 showed around two dozen weekly departures from Shivamogga to Hyderabad across both airlines, which works out to a few flights on a typical day. Schedules change between the summer and winter seasons, so search your exact date on FlightGPT and compare both airlines before booking with the carrier or a travel partner.
Before you leave: reaching Shivamogga Airport
The airport sits at Sogane, roughly 8–10 km from Shivamogga city centre, around 20 minutes by taxi or auto. If you are coming from further afield, plan generously:
- Bhadravathi: about 20 km, 35 minutes
- Thirthahalli: about 60 km, 1.5 hours
- Sagar: about 75 km, under 2 hours
- Chikkamagaluru: about 100 km via Tarikere
The terminal is small and rarely crowded, but check-in usually closes 45 minutes before departure. With only a few flights a day, missing one can mean waiting until the next day. In the monsoon, ghat roads around Agumbe and Thirthahalli can be slowed by landslips, so leave early.
Which flight to choose: jet or turboprop?
If you have a choice, Star Air's Embraer jets usually fly the sector slightly faster and higher, above much of the monsoon cloud. SpiceJet's Q400 turboprop takes a little longer but often has more seats per flight. The scheduled block time for both is around 1 hour 30 minutes.
Star Air offers both economy and a small business cabin on many of its Embraer jets, which is useful if you want extra legroom. SpiceJet sells paid seat selection and meals. Compare the two on FlightGPT for your date: on a thin regional route, timing and seat availability usually matter more than the aircraft.
Packing for the Hyderabad flight: weights and limits
SpiceJet's domestic economy allowance is 15 kg in the hold and 7 kg in the cabin. Star Air includes a 7 kg cabin bag and a checked allowance that depends on the fare family you buy, so check before you pay.
Travellers from the Malnad often carry home produce such as coffee, areca, honey and pickles to relatives in Hyderabad. Pack liquids such as honey and pickle jars in your checked bag, sealed and wrapped, because liquids over 100 ml cannot go through cabin security. Regional aircraft have small overhead bins, so a large wheeled bag will probably be tagged at the steps.
Landing at RGIA and reaching Hitec City or Secunderabad
Flights arrive at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, where all domestic services use one integrated terminal. Regional aircraft usually park at a remote stand, with a bus to the arrivals hall.
Getting into the city:
- App cabs from the dedicated pickup zone: about 50–70 minutes to Hitec City or Gachibowli.
- TGSRTC Pushpak air-conditioned buses to Secunderabad, JBS, Hitec City and other hubs.
- Pre-paid taxis from the counters in arrivals.
Allow extra time if you land between 17:30 and 20:30, when traffic on the Outer Ring Road and PV Narasimha Rao Expressway is heaviest. The old city and Charminar are about 25 km north of the airport.
Peak travel from the Malnad to Hyderabad
Outbound demand from Shivamogga is highest after major festivals, when people who came home return to jobs and colleges in Hyderabad. The days after Ugadi (March–April), Ganesh Chaturthi, Dasara and Diwali are the tightest. The start of the academic year in June and the end of summer holidays also bring heavy loads.
In July and August the monsoon brings tourists into Shivamogga for Jog Falls rather than out of it, so outbound seats can be easier to find on weekdays. Fixed-date travellers on festival weekends should search early and compare both airlines, because with small aircraft, a few group bookings can fill a flight.
Other ways to reach Hyderabad from Shivamogga
If both non-stops are full, the next closest airports are Hubballi (HBX), about 170 km north, and Mangaluru (IXE), around 190 km west across the ghats. Each has flights to Hyderabad. Bengaluru (BLR), about 300 km away, has the most choice but costs you a 6-hour drive. Overnight buses to Hyderabad take 11–12 hours. Trains are possible too, but with a change of train and a long overall journey time, they suit only travellers with a free day. If you drive to Hubballi, allow about 3.5 hours via Shikaripura and Haveri.
