Star Air Launches Direct Ahmedabad–Mundra Flights, Strengthening Gujarat’s Air Connectivity

Star Air is set to strengthen air connectivity across Gujarat with the launch of direct flights between Ahmedabad and Mundra, beginning 17 August 2026. The new route will create a faster and more convenient connection between Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s major commercial hub, and Mundra, one of the country’s most important port and industrial centres.

The new Ahmedabad–Mundra flight service is expected to benefit business travellers, professionals, entrepreneurs, families and industries that regularly travel between the two destinations.

Ahmedabad–Mundra Flights to Begin from 17 August

The new direct service will connect Ahmedabad Airport (AMD) with Mundra Airport (MDA) three times a week. Flights will operate every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with an early morning departure from Ahmedabad and an evening return flight from Mundra.

This schedule has been planned to provide greater flexibility for travellers, particularly those visiting Mundra for business and industrial purposes.

The flight schedule is:

With a flight time of just 50 minutes, the new service offers a significantly faster alternative to travelling between Ahmedabad and Mundra by road.

A Faster Link Between Two Key Gujarat Economic Centres

Ahmedabad has long been one of Gujarat’s most important commercial and economic centres. The city has developed into a major destination for businesses, entrepreneurs, students and professionals, supported by its strong industrial base, financial ecosystem, educational institutions and growing startup community.

Mundra, meanwhile, has transformed dramatically over the years. Located along Gujarat’s Kutch coast, the city is home to India’s largest private port and has become a major centre for logistics, trade, manufacturing and exports.

The growth of the Mundra port has also encouraged industrial development in the surrounding region, attracting investment and creating employment opportunities. Its connectivity to national and international markets makes Mundra an important part of India’s wider logistics network.

Star Air’s New Route to Support Business Travel

The launch of direct Ahmedabad–Mundra flights is particularly significant for business travellers who frequently need to move between Gujarat’s commercial and industrial hubs.

Until now, travellers making the journey have largely depended on road transportation or less convenient travel options. The new direct flight provides a quicker alternative, allowing passengers to complete the journey in around 50 minutes.

Speaking about the launch, Shilpa Bhatia, Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer at Star Air, said that the new service represents more than simply an additional flight route.

According to Bhatia, the Ahmedabad–Mundra connection is intended to create a strategic link between two important economic centres while making travel faster and more convenient for businesses, entrepreneurs and communities.

How the Ahmedabad–Mundra Route Could Benefit Gujarat

Improved air connectivity can play an important role in supporting regional economic growth. For Gujarat, the new route could make it easier for business leaders, professionals and investors to travel between Ahmedabad and the Kutch region.

The service could also prove useful for industries associated with Mundra’s port, logistics and manufacturing ecosystem. Faster passenger connectivity can help businesses manage meetings, site visits and time-sensitive operations more efficiently.

For individual travellers, the route offers another convenient option for reaching Mundra without spending several hours on the road.

The new connection therefore has the potential to support not only passenger travel but also the broader business and logistics ecosystem around Mundra.

Star Air Expands Its Regional Connectivity

Star Air, the aviation arm of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, began commercial operations in 2019 with the vision of “Connect Real India” by making air travel more accessible and convenient.

The airline currently connects 32 destinations across India and has served close to 3 million passengers since beginning operations. Its fleet currently consists of eight Embraer E175 aircraft, while the airline plans to expand its fleet to 25 aircraft over the next 36 months.

Star Air has also been recognised as Best Domestic Airline (RCS) by Wings India in 2022 and 2026.

The Ahmedabad–Mundra service is another step in the airline’s efforts to improve regional air connectivity and connect important Indian cities beyond the country’s largest metropolitan hubs.

Ahmedabad–Mundra Flight Tickets Now Available

Tickets for the new Ahmedabad–Mundra flights are now available through Star Air’s official website and leading travel platforms.

Travellers planning business trips, industrial visits or personal journeys between Ahmedabad and Mundra can now choose a direct air connection starting 17 August 2026.

With three weekly flights and a scheduled journey time of just 50 minutes, the new route is expected to make travel between the two important Gujarat destinations faster, easier and more convenient.
