There is no non-stop flight between Silchar (IXS) and Pune (PNQ) — Silchar is a small airport in southern Assam with limited route options, so every itinerary connects through a hub. IndiGo carries most of the traffic, with the Air India group on some legs.
The cleanest connection is via Kolkata (CCU): Silchar has frequent short flights to Kolkata, and Kolkata has plenty of Pune service. Guwahati (GAU) is an alternative first hop but usually adds time. Some itineraries route via Delhi, which is longer still — use only if the fare or timing clearly beats the Kolkata option. Ignore older results listing Go First or Jet Airways, which no longer operate, and note Vistara has merged into Air India.
The straight-line distance is roughly 2,300 km. A typical Kolkata connection means a short ~1h Silchar–Kolkata leg, a layover, then a ~2h 30m Kolkata–Pune leg. End to end, plan for 6 to 9 hours depending on your layover; via Guwahati or Delhi it runs longer.
Both cities are on IST, so there's no time-zone change. As with any connecting route, your total time hinges on the layover. Silchar's schedule is thin, so the first hop's timing largely dictates which onward Pune flight you can realistically catch.
This is largely a migration, work and family-visit route between the Barak Valley and the Pune region rather than a leisure corridor, so demand is steadier than a tourist route. Fares still firm up around festivals — Durga Puja and the year-end holidays in particular — and the Northeast's monsoon can affect Silchar operations.
| Period | Demand | Fare trend |
|---|---|---|
| Durga Puja & Oct–Nov festivals | High | Higher — book 3–5 weeks ahead |
| Dec–Jan (holidays) | Moderate–high | Firmer around the New Year |
| May–Sep (monsoon) | Moderate | Cheaper, but watch Silchar weather |
| Feb–Apr | Moderate | Often the best value |
We don't quote a fixed rupee figure because a long two-leg fare moves daily. Book the Pune leg early around festivals, when Northeast-to-mainland demand peaks.
On a long connecting route from a small airport, these help most:

Silchar's flights are concentrated in the morning, so a morning departure that connects through Kolkata to an afternoon Pune flight is the most reliable pattern. Keep a Kolkata layover of at least 2 hours — Silchar weather and the thin schedule mean a delay on the first hop can otherwise cost the connection.
During the Northeast monsoon (roughly May–September), Silchar departures are the more weather-sensitive leg; favouring the earliest flight of the day reduces the chance of a cascading delay. If your only option lands you in Kolkata late, an overnight there is safer than a tight same-day rush to Pune.
Work and family travellers: This route mainly serves people moving between the Barak Valley and the Pune–Mumbai belt. Book the Pune leg ahead around festivals, keep a comfortable layover, and confirm return timings, as Silchar's schedule is lean.
Business travellers: Direct corporate demand is limited. The via-Kolkata morning connection is the practical option; budget the better part of a day each way and build in a weather buffer for Silchar in monsoon.
Students and budget travellers: The February–April and monsoon shoulders are usually cheapest, though monsoon adds weather risk at Silchar. If your dates flex, those windows save the most on this long, two-leg journey; if not, book early to avoid festival surges.
Silchar — Kumbhirgram Airport (IXS): A single-terminal airport about 20–25 km from the city, sharing the site with an air-force station. It's small with a lean schedule and basic facilities, so arrive early and don't bank on last-minute seat availability.
Pune — Pune Airport (PNQ): A single-terminal airport that also shares its runway with an air-force base, which means restricted operating hours at times. It can get congested at peak; allow buffer for security and, on arrival, for the walk to ground transport.
At Silchar: Kumbhirgram Airport is roughly a 45–60 minute drive from Silchar town. Pre-paid taxis and shared cabs are the main options; app-cab availability is limited, so arrange transport in advance, especially for early departures.
At Pune: Pune Airport is in Lohegaon, about 10–15 km from the city centre — typically 30–45 minutes, longer in IT-corridor traffic towards Hinjawadi or Kharadi. App cabs, prepaid taxis and buses all serve the airport; for the Hinjawadi/Magarpatta tech hubs, a cab is simplest on arrival.
Both legs are domestic, so standard domestic rules apply — typically 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin on the cheapest fares, varying by airline and fare type. Confirm before you fly and see IndiGo baggage for current limits.
On a single through-ticket, bags are usually checked all the way to Pune. On separate tickets you'll re-check at Kolkata, adding time — keep a comfortable layover. If you're carrying Northeast specialities or perishables home, pack them per airline rules and within your allowance to avoid excess charges.
Silchar and the Barak Valley are warm and very wet in the monsoon (May–September), when heavy rain can occasionally delay departures; the drier October–April months are more reliable for flying. Pune has a pleasant climate for much of the year, cooler and greener in the monsoon and mild in winter.
Because the weather-sensitive leg is at the Silchar end, build flexibility into monsoon-season travel and favour early departures. Carry your ID and ticket within easy reach — both Silchar and Pune share their fields with air-force stations, so security can be a little stricter. Download offline maps before leaving Silchar, as connectivity can be patchy en route.
Kolkata is the hub that makes this route work — short, frequent hops from Silchar feed straight into Pune services. Book the longer Kolkata–Pune leg first, then attach the Silchar morning hop with a 2-hour-plus cushion. In monsoon, treat the Silchar leg as the risky one and build a buffer day around important commitments rather than relying on a tight same-day connection.
No. There is no non-stop service between Silchar and Pune. Silchar is a small airport with limited routes, so every itinerary connects through a hub, most commonly Kolkata. Plan for one stop and roughly 6–9 hours of total travel.
Kolkata is usually the best — Silchar has frequent short flights there, and Kolkata has plenty of Pune service. Guwahati is an alternative first hop but generally adds time, and via-Delhi routings are longer still.
Typically 6 to 9 hours end to end via Kolkata, including the layover. The Silchar–Kolkata leg is about an hour and Kolkata–Pune around 2h 30m; the rest is your connection time, which is the main variable.
It's entirely domestic, so you only need a valid government photo ID such as Aadhaar, a driving licence or passport. No visa or permit is required, and the same ID works at every airport on the journey.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels a flight you are entitled to a full refund including taxes, or an alternative, regardless of fare type. On separate tickets each leg is independent, so one cancellation does not automatically refund the other — a single through-ticket gives fuller protection.
A single through-ticket gives through-checked baggage and protection if the first leg is late. Separate tickets can occasionally be cheaper but carry missed-connection risk and a baggage re-check at Kolkata. If you book separately, keep a long layover.
Both legs are domestic, so standard allowances apply — typically 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin on the cheapest fares, varying by airline and fare type. Check your ticket and see IndiGo baggage for current limits.
Yes. Web check-in is available for each leg on the operating airline's app or website, usually from 48 hours before departure. On a single through-ticket you can often check in for both legs together; on separate tickets, do each one separately.
It can. The Northeast monsoon (roughly May–September) brings heavy rain to the Barak Valley and can occasionally delay Silchar departures, which are the weather-sensitive leg on this route. Favour early morning flights and keep your schedule flexible in those months.
The February–April and monsoon shoulders are usually cheapest, though monsoon adds weather risk at Silchar. Festivals such as Durga Puja and the year-end holidays push fares up, so book the Pune leg early around those peaks.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a parent's lap at a reduced fare and need proof of age such as a birth certificate. Given the long multi-leg journey, choose a comfortable layover and keep feeds, nappies and essentials in your cabin bag.
Pet carriage varies by airline and aircraft. Because you connect through Kolkata, you must satisfy the pet policy for both legs and both airports in advance. Confirm directly with the operating carriers before booking, as approval and space are not guaranteed.
Base fares are usually similar, but booking directly with the airline makes changes, refunds and disruption handling simpler on a multi-leg route. OTAs sometimes add small discounts; weigh that against simpler direct support if a leg is delayed.
Pune Airport (PNQ) operates from a single terminal, which also shares its runway with an air-force base, so operating hours can be restricted at times. Check your boarding pass and allow buffer for security and, on arrival, for the walk to ground transport.
Pune Airport is in Lohegaon, about 10–15 km from the city centre. App cabs and prepaid taxis are the easiest way to reach areas like Hinjawadi, Kharadi or Magarpatta, though IT-corridor traffic can make the journey longer — allow extra time at peak hours.
