New Delhi, 13th April 2026: Star Air, the aviation arm of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, is elevating regional connectivity with the launch of 70 new direct flights weekly across its network, now including a vital new link between Hindon (Delhi NCR) and Mundra, Gujarat’s dynamic port city. With Mundra joining as Star Air’s 32nd destination, travellers from Delhi NCR gain direct access to a key economic hub, further strengthening business and leisure ties across northern and western India. This expansion underscores Star Air’s commitment to superior service, convenience, and a truly connected India.
Starting 25th April 2026, Star Air will operate 38 direct weekly flights and a total of 54 weekly connections, linking Mundra to six key cities across Western and Northern India. With over 17,000 additional seats now available each month, this landmark move stands among the largest boosts to air connectivity and economic growth the region has ever seen.
The expansion sees Mundra directly linked to Hindon (Delhi-NCR), Mumbai, Goa (Mopa), and Surat, offering business and leisure travellers unmatched access and convenience. In addition to the 38 direct weekly flights, Star Air will introduce 16 weekly one-stop connections, strengthening ties with Kolhapur and Bhuj and further supporting the region’s workforce and entrepreneurs.
With an additional 4,104 seats available weekly and 17,000 seats monthly, Star Air’s expansion is set to drive new growth in business, trade, and tourism throughout Gujarat and beyond. Passengers flying from Mundra will enjoy Star Air’s signature hospitality, including hot meals and beverages on every flight, and the comfort of the Embraer E175 fleet featuring both business and economy cabins.
Captain Simran Singh Tiwana, CEO of Star Air, said, “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.”
Mundra, situated in the Kutch district of Gujarat, has evolved into a linchpin of India’s trade and industrial network. As home to the country’s largest commercial port, Mundra is the entry and exit point for a significant portion of India’s international cargo. Mundra Port, managed by Adani Ports and SEZ, handled over 155 million metric tonnes of cargo last year and continues to anchor the region’s rapid economic transformation. Until now, the absence of direct air links has posed challenges for time-sensitive cargo, professionals, and investors. With this network expansion, Star Air is bridging that gap, enabling faster access to markets and greater opportunities for investment and employment.
The new flights are expected to provide a vital lifeline for the port’s workforce, logistics experts, business travellers, and residents alike. Fast, reliable air connectivity will significantly reduce travel times, making it easier for companies to operate efficiently, respond swiftly to market demands, and attract new investment into the region. For the people of Kutch, it means better access to educational, healthcare, and employment opportunities across the country.
Star Air’s expansion into Mundra coincides with a crucial period for Indian aviation. As passenger demand soars and regional economies flourish, the airline is scaling up operations to meet the moment. The airline’s network now spans 550 weekly flights, having carried nearly 3 million passengers in six years. The airline continues to redefine regional connectivity beyond UDAN, staying true to its mission of “Connecting Real India.”
