The new services will begin from April 25 and are aimed at strengthening air connectivity between Gujarat’s key industrial hub and major cities across northern and western India. With this expansion, Star Air is adding over 17,000 seats per month to its network.
As part of the new schedule, the airline will operate 38 direct weekly flights connecting Mundra with Mumbai, Hindon (Delhi-NCR), Goa (Mopa) and Surat. These direct routes alone will offer 4,104 seats every week. Overall, Star Air will operate a total of 54 weekly connections from Mundra. In addition, 16 weekly one-stop connections will link Mundra with Kolhapur and Bhuj.
“Mundra isn’t just a port, it’s a springboard for India’s industrial and economic ambitions. By seamlessly connecting Mundra with leading cities across Northern and Western India, we’re energising trade, business, and opportunity, while ensuring our passengers enjoy unparalleled comfort on every journey. This expansion is about empowering people and industries, and setting a new standard for regional air travel,” Simran Singh Tiwana, CEO of Star Air, said in a press release.
Passengers on the new Mundra flights will travel on Star Air’s Embraer E175 aircraft, which features both business and economy class cabins. The airline will also offer its signature onboard service, including hot meals and beverages on every flight.
According to the airline, improved connectivity will help reduce travel time and help drive new growth in business, trade, and tourism throughout Gujarat and beyond.
The new Mundra services are now open for booking on the airline’s official website and major travel platforms.
Star Air, the aviation arm of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group (SGG), began its commercial operations in 2019. Since then, the airline has steadily expanded its footprint across India by operating around 550 weekly flights across 31 destinations and carrying nearly 3 million passengers over the past six years. With the addition of Mundra, the airline’s network has now expanded to 32 destinations.
The carrier currently operates a fleet of 12 aircraft, including eight Embraer E175S and four Embraer E145S, and plans to scale up its fleet strength to 25 aircraft over the next 36 months.
