Star Air Announces Mundra–Belagavi Connectivity Via Mumbai; Belagavi’s Direct Destination Count Remains Four

Belagavi’s air connectivity network is set to expand further with Star Air announcing a new connection between Mundra in Gujarat’s Kutch district and Belagavi via Mumbai from June 23.

According to the schedule released by the airline, passengers from Mundra will be able to reach Belagavi through a same-aircraft or connecting service routed through Mumbai. Flights will operate five days a week with arrivals in Belagavi at 9.30 pm.

The announced schedule is:

• Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday: Depart Mundra at 6.30 pm and arrive in Belagavi at 9.30 pm via Mumbai.
• Friday and Sunday: Depart Mundra at 2.10 pm and arrive in Belagavi at 9.30 pm via Mumbai.

Mundra, home to one of India’s largest commercial ports, is a major industrial and logistics hub in Gujarat. The new service is expected to benefit business travellers, industrial stakeholders and those with commercial links between North Karnataka and the Kutch region. Star Air has been steadily expanding its network from Mundra since commencing scheduled operations there earlier this year.

With Ahmedabad and Jaipur no longer part of the operational network, Belagavi currently has direct flight connectivity to four cities — Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai/Navi Mumbai. The newly announced Star Air service provides connectivity from Mundra (Kutch) to Belagavi via Mumbai, but does not add a new direct destination from Belagavi.
