Air India Express will begin daily direct flights between Hyderabad and Navi Mumbai from March 29, 2026, strengthening connectivity between two rapidly growing urban centres. The new service is expected to make travel easier for both business and leisure passengers moving between Hyderabad’s technology-driven economy and Navi Mumbai’s emerging commercial districts.
The airline said the new route will offer travellers a faster and more convenient option between the two cities, linking Hyderabad’s historic and cultural landscape with Navi Mumbai’s modern skyline and expanding infrastructure.
Flight IX1511 will depart Hyderabad at 05:35 and arrive in Navi Mumbai at 06:50. The return service, flight IX152, will leave Navi Mumbai at 07:35 and land in Hyderabad at 08:45, allowing passengers to complete the journey in just over an hour.
Air India Express is also offering travellers a choice of fare categories designed to suit different travel needs. The airline’s Classic fares include complimentary seat selection, lite bites on board and reduced cancellation or change fees. Passengers choosing Flex fares receive additional benefits such as 20 kg check-in baggage allowance, complimentary seats, lite bites, zero convenience fee for bookings made through the airline’s website or mobile app, reduced cancellation charges and unlimited date changes.
With Hyderabad continuing to grow as a major technology and business hub and Navi Mumbai emerging as an important commercial and infrastructure centre in the Mumbai metropolitan region, the new route is expected to boost both business travel and tourism between the two cities.
