In a significant boost to regional air connectivity, direct flight services between Bhavnagar and Mumbai will resume from March 29, 2026. Ticket bookings for the service will open on February 25.
The direct air link between the industrially important city of Bhavnagar and Mumbai had remained suspended for a long period due to technical reasons. Responding to persistent public demand and representations from local stakeholders, Bhavnagar MP and Union Minister of State Nimuben Bambhania took up the matter with the Union Civil Aviation Ministry.
As part of her efforts, Bambhania made a detailed representation to Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu and held phased discussions with Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Muralidhar Mohol, along with consultations with various airline operators. Following these efforts and the Centre’s positive response, IndiGo has decided to operate two daily ATR flights between Bhavnagar and Navi Mumbai from March 29.
According to the schedule, flights from Bhavnagar to Navi Mumbai will depart at 8:35 am and 8:50 pm daily.
