Mumbai to Kolhapur Flight: Star Air, IndiGo and the Navi Mumbai Question (Snapshot 25 Oct 2026)

Summarize this blog post with: ChatGPT | Perplexity | Claude | Grok

A Mumbai to Kolhapur flight is a short hop of about an hour, but in 2026 “Mumbai” can mean two airports and the schedules have changed more than once. This guide pulls together what dated sources say about flights in this direction, shows where they differ and tells you what to confirm with the airline. It is a snapshot from 25 October 2026. We are not an airline or a booking site, and we cannot see live seats or fares.

Key Takeaways

• Two airlines show up in sources: Star Air, from Mumbai (BOM) to Kolhapur (KLH), and IndiGo, from Navi Mumbai (NMI) to Kolhapur. Check which airport your ticket says.
• A route-schedule site (FlightConnections) said Star Air flies BOM to KLH about 11 times a week as of June 2026, with departures between 09:05 and 18:05 and a flight time of about 1 hour 5 minutes.
• Star Air’s own flight schedule page, when retrieved on 25 October 2026, listed Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Tirupati, Indore and other routes but showed no Mumbai to Kolhapur row. We cannot explain this. Verify on the airline’s booking page.
• Star Air’s own press releases page, retrieved on 26 October 2026, carries a release dated 3 March 2026 that lists Kolhapur-Mumbai flights S5 163 (11:15) and S5 162 (18:05, Tuesday and Thursday) and Mumbai-Kolhapur flights S5 164 (09:40) and S5 161 (16:30, Tuesday and Thursday). That is a March announcement, so it does not show what runs today, and the September Pudhari report below describes a different, later pattern.
• Pudhari reported on 10 September 2026 that Star Air’s Kolhapur to Mumbai service ran five days a week from 8 September, with no Sunday or Tuesday flight from Kolhapur, and that airport management hoped to restore all seven days the following month.
• IndiGo announced daily Navi Mumbai to Kolhapur flights from 29 March 2026. A route site listed two daily flights in July 2026.
• A fare calendar showed prices from about ₹4,563 on many dates, with some dates far higher. Fares change constantly.

Which Airlines Fly From Mumbai to Kolhapur?

These are not necessarily in conflict. They come from different dates and describe different airports and airlines. The point for a traveller is that the schedule has changed over 2026, so the dated source matters more than any one timetable.

Does Star Air still fly Mumbai to Kolhapur?

We could not confirm it. Star Air’s own schedule page showed an entry for Mumbai to Indore but none for Mumbai to Kolhapur when we read it on 25 October 2026. A route site and a news report say the service existed earlier in 2026. The schedule page may not list every route, or the route may be paused. Search for the flight on Star Air’s booking page for your date.

Is there a flight from Navi Mumbai to Kolhapur?

What we could check on official pages on 25 October 2026: IndiGo’s own Navi Mumbai page gives the airport code as NMI, and the airport operator’s press release dated 3 May 2024 says IATA allotted NMI to Navi Mumbai International Airport. IndiGo’s Kolhapur to Mumbai page gives the Mumbai airport code as BOM, and Star Air’s schedule page uses KLH for Kolhapur. What we could not check: IndiGo’s pages we retrieved did not show a Kolhapur and Navi Mumbai timetable, because its live schedule is generated when you search. So no official page we read confirms the current service. The reports below are dated and are not today’s timetable.

IndiGo announced one, according to news reports. The Mumbai Live report from 24 February 2026 gave this planned timetable: Navi Mumbai 8:00 am to Kolhapur 9:15 am and Navi Mumbai 7:20 pm to Kolhapur 8:30 pm. It also gave the other direction at 9:35 am and 8:50 pm. An August to October timetable was not in the sources we read. The July 2026 data on FlyTeam showed the Kolhapur departures at 09:35 and 20:50. For the Mumbai to Kolhapur direction, we have only the February plan. Confirm with IndiGo.

How Long Is the Mumbai to Kolhapur Flight?

The February IndiGo plan shows 1 hour 15 minutes from Navi Mumbai to Kolhapur, and one hour from Kolhapur to Navi Mumbai. FlightConnections gives about 1 hour 5 minutes for Star Air from Mumbai. FlyTeam shows 55 to 60 minutes in the other direction. Different directions and aircraft give different times, so these are consistent with one another.

How Much Is a Mumbai to Kolhapur Flight?

Treat any number here as a snapshot.

The three figures are for different dates, directions and airlines, so they do not contradict each other. Fares depend on the day you travel, so look at your own dates.

How Should I Choose Between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai?

1. Check the airport code on your ticket: BOM for Mumbai, NMI for Navi Mumbai.
2. Allow travel time to the airport at the Mumbai end. We have not measured it, so check a map for your starting point.
3. Compare the departure time with your plans. The February IndiGo plan had a morning and an evening flight.
4. Check the day of the week. The September Pudhari report shows days can be dropped.

What about baggage and fares?

We did not find baggage rules in the sources we read. Check the airline’s fare rules.

Useful Tools

• Star Air’s booking page for the Star Air route.
• IndiGo’s booking page for the Navi Mumbai route.
• A fare calendar to see price swings across dates.
• A map app, for the road distance to the airport at either end.

Next Steps

1. Pick your date and search both airlines.
2. Note the airport code on each result.
3. Compare timing and fare, and check the days of the week.
4. Re-check the flight a few days before travel, since schedules changed several times in 2026.
