Port Blair flight schedule: every direct flight, by day and time

This is the complete direct-flight timetable for Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International, IXZ) as the airlines filed it with the DGCA for winter 2026–27 — every flight number, its operating days, and when it lands or leaves. Six cities fly daily all season: Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Bhubaneswar flies four days a week, and Visakhapatnam has no direct flight in this filing. Booking sites show you one date at a time; this page shows the pattern.

Valid 25 October 2026 – 27 March 2027. This is the approved winter filing (published by the DGCA on 22 October 2026), not a live feed. Airlines change plans mid-season, and in two places the filing gives two different answers; the notes under Delhi and Bengaluru explain both. Treat it as the pattern and confirm the exact flight with the airline on the day you book. The summer schedule this page showed until now ended on 24 October 2026.

The season at a glance

Which cities have a nonstop in which month. In winter the map is wide and steady: every city in the filing flies in every month, and the changes are extra flights from mid- and late November. The summer map is narrower — in 2026 Hyderabad paused for the monsoon and Mumbai flew only in October.

City by city: flights, days and timings

All times are the scheduled arrival into or departure out of Port Blair. Day dots run Monday to Sunday. Where a flight does not run the whole season, its window is stated — that column is the one worth reading twice.

Two things to check in the filing's Bengaluru section. It times IndiGo's 6E 6945 and 6E 6942, from 30 November, differently — leaving Bengaluru at 09:05 and landing back there at 15:40, which does not fit the Port Blair times above. And it leaves some flights out: IndiGo's 6E 6356, 6E 6945 and 6E 6942 and Air India Express's IX 1971 on several days between 30 January and 12 February 2027, 6E 6945 on four days in late March, and IX 2648 on 27 March 2027. On every one of those dates at least one Bengaluru flight each way is still listed, so the route itself is daily. If your dates fall there, confirm with the airline.

Air India's filing gives two answers for AI 2613 and AI 2614. Its Port Blair section lists them every day; its Delhi section lists them on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays only. Until the airline settles it, treat Monday, Wednesday and Friday as unconfirmed for that pair and check before you book. The Delhi section also ends Air India Express's IX 1567 on 25 March 2027, two days before the Port Blair section does.

Visakhapatnam has no direct flight in this filing; Air India Express's Vizag service was filed only to 15 April 2026. From Vizag, connect through one of the cities above. Looking for fares instead of timings? Our how-to-reach guide carries typical return fares by city.

Landing in time for the ferry — read this first

Most flights above land by early afternoon, and afternoon ferries to Havelock exist — so the same-day connection looks obvious on paper. We book it for no one. Weather delays into Port Blair are routine, a ticket for a sailing you miss may not be refunded — that depends on the operator's fare rules — and a missed sailing breaks the whole first day; one of our guests lost exactly that bet to a delayed flight. Spend night one in Port Blair, take a morning ferry, and the timetable above becomes a comfortable one instead of a race. Our ferry cancellations study counts how often travellers cancel their own ferry bookings; it does not measure flight delays or missed connections.

For hotels, homestays and fellow operators

If your "how to reach us" page needs a current flight picture, you are welcome to link this one instead of maintaining your own — that is why it exists. We update it from each DGCA schedule filing (next: the summer 2027 schedule, due in March 2027) and note where a filing disagrees with itself. No sign-up, no attribution demanded; a link helps but even that is your call.

Sources and method

The timetable is parsed from the five DGCA Approved Winter Schedule 2026–27 "Airport Movement Report" filings that include Port Blair — IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air and SpiceJet (published 22 October 2026), Port Blair sections only. The other airlines on the DGCA's list — Alliance Air, Fly91, IndiaOne Air and Star Air — file no Port Blair flight. We also checked each Port Blair row against the same flight in the other airport's section of the same filing; where the two disagree, the page says so under that city. We read the DGCA's schedule page on 27 October 2026. Full workings, and 11 years of passenger data, live in our 11-year flight-data study.

Schedule questions, answered

Which airlines fly to Port Blair?

Five, in the winter schedule 2026–27: IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air and SpiceJet. IndiGo files the most — in the filings' Port Blair sections, 9 of the 18 flights that land every day at the start of the season, and 11 of 21 from 30 November. Air India flies Delhi; Air India Express flies Kolkata, Bengaluru and Bhubaneswar, and Delhi from 15 November; Akasa Air flies Chennai and Kolkata; SpiceJet, new this winter, flies Kolkata twice a day. This page covers the DGCA's domestic schedule; for travel from outside India, see our how-to-reach guide.

Which days do flights operate to Port Blair?

Every day from six cities: Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai have direct flights every day of the winter schedule. Bhubaneswar has Air India Express on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Visakhapatnam has no direct flight in this filing. Three flights start mid-season — Air India Express from Delhi on 15 November, and IndiGo's second Hyderabad and third Bengaluru flights on 30 November. One pair needs checking: Air India's AI 2613/2614 is filed daily in the Port Blair section of its filing but only four days a week in the Delhi section.

What time do flights land in Port Blair?

Between 06:50 and 15:00. The earliest arrival is IndiGo's 6E 526 from Chennai at 06:50; the last is IndiGo's 6E 6420 from Kolkata at 15:00, and the last departure is its 6E 6421 back to Kolkata at 15:45. There are no evening or night flights in the winter filing — the airport works a daytime pattern, so departures cluster through the morning and early afternoon too.

Are there flights to Port Blair during the monsoon?

Yes, but fewer, and this page's timetable is the winter one, so it does not cover the monsoon. In the summer 2026 schedule (29 March – 24 October 2026), Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Delhi kept daily direct flights through the monsoon, while Hyderabad's nonstop was paused from 1 July to 30 September and Mumbai's ran only from 1 to 24 October. The summer 2027 filing will show next year's pattern; our flight-data study covers why the network breathes like this.

Can I catch a same-day ferry to Havelock after landing?

On paper, often yes — most flights land by early afternoon and afternoon ferries exist. We still tell every guest no. Flights into Port Blair take weather delays, and a missed ferry departure can mean a ticket that is not refunded — that depends on the operator's fare rules — and a broken itinerary on day one. A guest of ours learned that the hard way after a delayed flight. Spend the first night in Port Blair and take a morning ferry — the schedule works with you rather than against you that way.

When does this schedule change?

The winter schedule runs from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027, and the summer schedule takes over after that. In 2026 the summer filing was published on 18 March, eleven days before its season, and the winter one on 22 October, three days before, so we re-publish this page as each one appears. Airlines also amend mid-season, so treat this as the approved plan and confirm the exact flight on the airline's own site or app on the day you book.

How this page stays true

Compiled by the Tropical Andamans team in Port Blair, July 2026, and re-published from the winter filing on 27 October 2026. This page states validity windows on their face because schedules have them, and says where a filing contradicts itself rather than choosing an answer for you. It is re-published from each new schedule filing — next the summer schedule 2027, expected in March 2027. If you fly a route this table gets wrong, we want to know: the fastest correction is a WhatsApp message.
