Adani Mundra Airport launches first scheduled flight service, connects Kutch with Mumbai and Goa
Ahmedabad, June 23
Adani Mundra Airport on Tuesday announced the launch of its first scheduled flight service, connecting Mundra with Mumbai and Goa, in partnership with regional airline Star Air.
The company said the new air connectivity is expected to strengthen trade, commerce, logistics and tourism in the Kutch region while supporting the growth of Mundra as a major business and logistics hub.
Along with the Mumbai and Goa route, Star Air will launch eight new air services from Mundra Airport. The airline will connect Mundra with Hindon, Surat, Belagavi, Bengaluru, Kolhapur and Nanded, providing improved connectivity to key cities across the country.
According to the company, the new services will significantly reduce travel time and create a faster corridor for businesses, traders and tourists travelling to and from the region.
Adani Mundra Airport said the launch of scheduled flight operations marks an important step in transforming Kutch into a fully integrated multi-modal logistics and business hub.
The airport has been developed with a 1,900-metre runway capable of handling a wide range of passenger and cargo aircraft. The modern terminal includes spacious parking facilities, multiple check-in counters, passenger lounges and a food court.
The airport also offers accessibility features, including wheelchair facilities and dedicated passenger drop-off zones.
The company said the new air connectivity will provide an important last-mile link for India's largest private port, Mundra Port, and the country's largest notified and operational multi-product Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Mundra SEZ.
According to Adani Mundra Airport, the new flight services will help improve the movement of people and support the efficient management of trade volumes passing through the port. The connectivity is also expected to strengthen integration with national and global supply chains.
The company said the airport will create greater synergy between the Adani Group's port and aviation businesses while supporting the future growth of trade, industry and tourism in the Kutch region.
Adani Group said the initiative builds on its experience of operating eight airports across India, including Navi Mumbai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Thiruvananthapuram, Mangaluru and Guwahati.
The company added that the launch of scheduled flight services is expected to open new opportunities for businesses and travellers while contributing to the economic development of the region.

Good initiative but I hope the fares remain reasonable. Otherwise it will only benefit business travellers and common people won't be able to afford it. Star Air should keep prices accessible for locals too.
This is exactly what we needed. Mundra port is growing so fast, and now with air connectivity, logistics will become much smoother. Adani Group knows how to develop infrastructure properly. 👏
Impressive. A 1900-metre runway can handle a good range of aircraft. This will definitely help businesses in Kutch. I've seen Mundra SEZ up close and it's massive. Good to see infrastructure catching up.
Why only Mumbai and Goa? What about Delhi or Ahmedabad? Kutch has many people who travel to Delhi for work. Hope they add more routes soon. But still, a good start 👌
