IC 5303: the midday departure from Chipi
Fly91 is the only airline linking the Sindhudurg coast with Hyderabad. According to the airline's schedule effective 04 Oct, 2026, flight IC 5303 leaves Sindhudurg daily at 12:50 and lands at Hyderabad at 14:35. The aircraft is an ATR 72-600, the only type in Fly91's fleet.
A midday departure is easy to plan around: you can check out of a Malvan or Tarkarli stay after breakfast, and you reach Hyderabad by mid-afternoon with time to connect onwards or get home before the evening traffic. Schedules can change between seasons, so compare your date on FlightGPT and book with Fly91 or a travel partner.
Timing the drive from the beaches to the airport
Sindhudurg Airport sits inland on a plateau near Chipi and Parule. The drive from the beaches takes longer than the distance suggests because of single-lane coastal roads, village traffic and the occasional slow bridge.
- Malvan: roughly 25–30 km, about 45–60 minutes
- Tarkarli or Devbagh: roughly 30–35 km, about an hour
- Vengurla: about 15 km, 25–30 minutes
- Sawantwadi: roughly 35 km, under an hour
- Kudal station: about 25 km, 40 minutes
For the 12:50 flight, aim to reach the terminal by 11:20. Pre-book your taxi the day before, since cabs are scarce at short notice in coastal villages. Hotel staff can usually suggest a reliable local driver.
Packing kokum, cashews and fish for the flight home
Many visitors leave Sindhudurg with local produce: cashews, kokum syrup and sol kadhi mix, Malvani masala, and dried fish. Fly91's economy fares include a 7 kg cabin bag and a checked allowance that has generally been 15 kg on domestic routes; confirm on your fare before paying.
- Kokum syrup and any liquid over 100 ml must go in checked baggage.
- Dried fish should be vacuum-packed or tightly sealed.
- Fresh fish needs proper insulated packing; check with the airline first.
ATR overhead bins are small, so larger trolley bags may be tagged at the aircraft steps. Keep medicines and electronics in your personal bag.
Flight time and what the ATR ride is like
Fly91 schedules 1 hour 45 minutes for the 540 km sector, slightly less than the outbound because of prevailing winds and routing. The turboprop climbs over the Sahyadris soon after take-off and then crosses the Deccan plateau via Karnataka and north Telangana.
Seats are arranged 2-2, so there are no middle seats. The ride is generally smooth in the dry season, but between June and September, monsoon clouds over the Western Ghats bring turbulence and occasional weather delays. A road journey is the only real alternative: roughly 650 km through Kolhapur and Solapur, about 12 hours, with no direct train between the coast and Hyderabad.
On arrival at Hyderabad's RGIA
You land at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad. All domestic flights use the integrated terminal, and Fly91's ATR usually parks at a remote stand with a short bus ride to the arrivals hall.
Arriving at 14:35 gives you a clear run into the city before the evening peak. App cabs from the pickup zone take about 50–70 minutes to Hitec City or Gachibowli and roughly an hour to Secunderabad; TGSRTC's Pushpak air-conditioned buses run to the main hubs. If you are connecting onwards from Hyderabad on a separate ticket, give yourself at least three hours, as bags must be collected and checked in again.
Which weeks are hardest to get a seat?
One flight a day on a 70-seat aircraft means demand spikes quickly. The return leg after Ganesh Chaturthi is the toughest: many Konkan families fly home for the festival in late August or September and head back together. The end of Diwali week, the first days of January after New Year beach holidays, and the end of the May summer holidays are also busy.
Weekday departures in February, March and early December are usually the easiest to book. If you are travelling during a peak week, compare the dates either side on FlightGPT; with only one daily non-stop, a single day can make the difference between flying direct and connecting through Goa.
Who flies Sindhudurg to Hyderabad, and why
The passenger mix on IC 5303 is different from a typical metro route. Hyderabad families returning from beach holidays in Malvan and Tarkarli make up a large share between October and May. Konkan-origin professionals working in Hyderabad's IT and pharma sectors use it to travel home for Ganeshotsav and family events. Business travellers in the cashew, mango and fisheries trades fly it as well.
Because there is only one flight a day, many travellers book the return at the same time as the outbound. That is sensible during Ganesh Chaturthi and the Christmas–New Year period, when the flight can be full on consecutive days. Alphonso mango season, from April to May, also brings traders and visitors to the district.
Fallbacks via Goa or by train
If IC 5303 is full, the closest backup is Goa's Manohar International Airport at Mopa (GOX), roughly 60–70 km from Sawantwadi, which has several daily flights to Hyderabad. Dabolim (GOI) is further south. A Konkan Railway train from Kudal or Sindhudurg station to Madgaon, followed by a flight from Goa, also works.
