As someone who travels frequently from Bhavnagar for work, this is a game-changer. The timings look convenient for day trips. Hope the fares remain affordable as promised. More competition on this route would be even better for passengers.

Good move, but I hope they improve the infrastructure at Bhavnagar airport too. Last time I was there, facilities were very basic. Expansion is good, but passenger experience matters just as much.

This is excellent for regional development. Connecting manufacturing and diamond hubs directly to the financial capital will streamline so much logistics. It's about time smaller cities got this kind of air link.

Twice daily is perfect! The evening flight from Navi Mumbai at 7:25 PM means I can finish a full day of meetings and still get home to Bhavnagar the same night. This will save so much time and hassle. Great job, IndiGo! 🙏

Hope this leads to more tourism as well. Bhavnagar has underrated historical sites like the Nilambagh Palace. Easier access might bring more visitors to explore Gujarat beyond just Ahmedabad and Somnath.
